Hi, I'm Chris.
I'm a front-end web developer near Manchester 🇬🇧 with 4 years experience.
I've been interested in programming since modding The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion or Fallout 3 as a teenager and my first jobs involved graphic design. For the past 4 years, I've found my passion in web development, working as a freelancer on projects such as:
- Web design
- Web app development
- WordPress theme creation
- Shopify theme development
- Server and database management
- Automating social media marketing for businesses
- SEO
- and more.
Skills
In this time, I've gained lots of competences including:

Outside Interests
Travel
I enjoy travel and have written for an online travel magazine, sharing about food in Paris. Below are the countries I've visited.
Music
I recorded and mixed an EP with my brother a few years back. This song is called “No Senator” and I'm the bloke singing in it.
If that's not your cup of ☕, perhaps you might prefer this song I wrote about Joan of Arc.

Faith
I'm involved in my religious community, I own a YouTube channel that discusses interesting historical events and how faith influences one's life. I've also founded Facebook groups totalling half a million members that I manage with a team of moderators providing emotional support and allowing members to ask for prayer.
France 🇫🇷
In my spare time, I enjoy (read: struggle) learning French. My wife is French and I need to stay ahead of the game before our son speaks it better than I can.
