Biography

I spend my days building websites with constantly evolving techniques and best practice. I have over 4 years industry experience working with up to date front-end technologies including development in WordPress.

Always active on twitter engaging with peers and sharing help & information. I've just learned Git, LESS / SASS and have been taking in approaches to responsive workflow, images and advertising.

Aside from that, I love all things animal, vinyl and bicycle. Oh, and 99% of people know me as Boon!
