About

I’m Will, a full stack software developer currently living in the historic city of Lancaster, just a short drive away from the Lake District National Park.

My technical expertise includes Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Framer Motion, PostgreSQL, and Docker; however, I always keep a focus on building scalable, maintainable systems regardless of the technology stack or framework. I'm passionate about creating efficient, user-centric products that matter.

In my spare time, I'm usually climbing, reading, hanging out with my wife and two cats, or running around Hyrule searching for Korok seeds.
