ABOUT.

Hello! I’m Thomas, a passionate Front-End Web Developer with a knack for creating clean, user-friendly, and responsive websites. With a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I enjoy transforming ideas into interactive digital experiences that are not only visually appealing but also intuitive to use.

Over the past 6 years, I’ve honed my skills working on a variety of projects, from simple landing pages to complex web applications. I’m proficient in modern front-end frameworks like React , Vue and Angular, as well as experience with CSS preprocessors like SASS and LESS, ensuring that every project I work on is scalable and maintainable.

I’m a lifelong learner who thrives on staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies. Whether it’s exploring the newest CSS features, diving into JavaScript ES6, or experimenting with responsive design techniques, I’m always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the web.

I’m always excited to collaborate on new projects and bring innovative ideas to life.

Let’s create something amazing together!

PROJECTS

HELEN CADDICK

For this project I redesigned a website for a composer, giving it a fresh, modern look that not only enhances her online presence but also boosts SEO performance. The site now features an intuitive layout that guides visitors seamlessly through her portfolio, making it easy for her audience to find essential information. This redesign highlights her work while ensuring that her content is easily discoverable, effectively promoting her as a leading composer in her field.

CYCLING CLUB

For this project I wanted to learn and experiment with CSS Grid. This project provided me with the opportunity to dive deep into creating complex, grid-based layouts that are both responsive and visually appealing. By working with CSS Grid, I learned how to efficiently organize and align content across multiple columns and rows, enabling precise control over the layout.

This project focused on mastering Flexbox. Developing this website allowed me to explore and apply Flexbox's capabilities in creating responsive, flexible designs that adjust seamlessly across different screen sizes.
