Hi, I'm Chris.
I'm a full-stack web developer near Manchester 🇬🇧 with experience.
My journey into programming began in my teenage years, modding games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3. I started my professional career doing graphic design, but 6 years ago, I transitioned into web development.
Initially, I worked full-time as a freelancer, collaborating with multiple clients. Over time, I moved into a corporate role. My experience includes:
- Web design & development
- iOS & Android development
- WordPress & Shopify theme creation
- Server & database management
- Automating social media marketing for businesses
- SEO
- …and more.

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 (struggle to) enjoy learning French. My wife is French, and I need to stay ahead before our two sons speak it better than I do.
