Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.

DevRel - open to opportunities

Back to the land of PHP for me in 2022! After looking at it for a few months the performance gains and improvements to the language have made it interesting again. PHP 8 FTW!

HTML, CSS, Vanilla JS, NodeJS and hopefully soon back to PHP mastery after years of ignoring PHP!

Building "the ultimate portfolio site".

Talks, webinars and podcasts. I specialise in accessibility so if you want someone on your podcast / in your space discussing accessibility then hit me up!
