About Me
Software Engineer based in Essex
Hey, I'm James — a software engineer with over a decade and a half of experience building web applications. My focus is Laravel, Vue.js, and TypeScript, but I've worked across the stack from Android applications and static sites to large-scale SaaS, CMS, and CRM platforms.
I care deeply about clean, well-structured code — composition over inheritance, SOLID principles, and keeping things small and purposeful. I'm currently enjoying the benefits of TypeScript, which lets me write stricter, more maintainable code.
Outside of code, I'm a huge Snooker fan, enjoy competitive FPS gaming, and have a growing interest in hardware and electronics.

Neon Digital
Junior Web Developer
Working for a local digital agency, my position included creating new internal tools e.g. for server monitoring and completing work on non-customer facing business systems including CRM, CMS and ordering systems.
The main tech stack I was using during this time was L.A.M.P. or L.E.M.P. with a Laravel backend. On the frontend, the company was trying to move away from using JQuery so I gained alot of knowledge of JQuery and Vue.js by porting different UI elements.

Southampton Solent
BSc Software Engineering
Studying at Southampton Solent University gave me a chance to spend time homing in my programming skills.
During this time, I became very familiar with PHP and Java. I also started dabbling with AI topics such as Forward Chaining and Neural Networks and created some basic examples.
I ended up creating a simple social network in PHP for my dissertation using no frameworks as an objective as the SNA was required to work on a SBC server.
