James is now available for hire Hire James

I am a British front end developer with six years professional experience, currently living and working in Copenhagen. I enjoy being creative with technology and finding simple solutions for complex problems, writing code which is clean, maintainable and easy to read. My robust understanding of UI and UX combined with diverse professional experience has enabled me to execute many successful projects to a high visual standard, adding value to the clients online presence. 

Throughout my career, I have applied my development and design skills to a broad variety of projects for an equally diverse range of clients. Most of this experience has taken place in digital agencies but I have also gained considerable experience working in the agile- environments of tech companies.
