Highly proficient developer with over 15 years commercial experience in a range of fast-paced agency environments.
Having worked at many well-established London-based agencies on a freelance basis, I've produced sites for big-name brands such as BMW, MINI, GSK, Sky Sports, Heineken, Post Office, Ben & Jerry's and London Fashion Week, often working alongside talented designers, building-out modern designs to exacting standards. Over the last 15 years I've built everything from interactive micro sites using raw HTML/CSS/JS, right through to more involved API-driven component-based web-apps using React/Next/Nuxt, and even the occasional web-based game. Always happy to hit the ground running, whether integrating into an existing team or working independently, from home or on-site.

James is a highly skilled front-end developer with a very keen awareness of the overall user experience. The combination of design skills, knowledge and understanding of development and quick pace of delivery made James a very valuable member of our team. The end result of the product is testament to James' input and support he gave the project over the time he worked on it. It was a pleasure to work alongside him. He made a big impact on the entire team. Cerven Cotter, UX Lead at GFM
I had the pleasure of working with James on a small site prototype. The turn around was quick, he was only with us for a few weeks, but his attention to detail was very impressive. He matched my designs perfectly which saved me having to spend a lot of time on QA. That in turn enabled us to work closely together to fine tune and tweak the interactions and responsive layouts of the prototype. In short we got a lot done in a short amount of time which looked and worked beautifully. Tony Goff, Freelance Designer
I worked with James at Maynard Malone on projects for Ben & Jerry's. He is a very skilled front-end developer with a considerable talent for translating customer requirements, corporate graphic designs and Agile iterative development into robust, fluid and responsive designs. He is easy to communicate with on both a personal and technical level and he an asset to anyone requiring their front-end code to work right first time. Brian Butterworth, Freelance Developer
