What I Do #
I'm a front-end web developer and designer from London, UK. I run a small, customer-focused web design and development studio in Barcelona, Spain. I work remotely with clients from all over Europe and North America.
I specialise in building fast and scalable, API-driven websites and Headless e-commerce applications using Jamstack or microservices-style architecture. I help clients to optimise their website and product performance, remove redundancy, streamline processes, and basically to boost their bottom line.

Feel free to take a look at my GitHub profile.
When I have time, I like to write stuff for my blog.
Education & Background #
My academic and professional background is in photography and digital imaging. I studied at University of the Arts London (London College of Communication) and went on to work in editorial photography in London for several years, primarily as a first assistant and then as a photographer in my own right.
Later, after years of learning and building websites in my spare time, I started my first web development agency and never looked back.
I'm a dual British/Polish citizen living and working these days between Barcelona, Spain and the French Pyrenees, where I do a lot of cycling, bikepacking, and running.
As well as being a native English speaker, I speak Catalan, Spanish, and some French.
