Welcome to my site

I'm a front-end developer at my core, I love getting stuck in and writing clean, accessible code or trying out the latest JavaScript library. My current role is as a Tech Community Lead at Potato where focus is unlocking the potential of the tech community, making sure that I share my knowledge and experience on projects, and taking steps to inspire the next generation of Developer.

As is the done thing, I've built this site up from scratch to help showcase my skills, picking and choosing the right technologies for the job. For the backend I've decided to write a simple Node.js server using express. I'm using the lightweight and super-fast Squirrelly to handle templating, along with marked and front-matter so that I can organise my blog in markdown files. On the frontend, I preprocess my CSS with Sass and then and use Parcel to handle all of the asset bundling. For continuous integration I'm using Codeship, which builds and deploys to a Digital Ocean VPS I manage.

All the code is hosted on GitHub so please feel free check it out. It will probably give a better representation of my skills than any content I could put on here.
