Some words to paint a picture.

Hi. I'm Kenny, a frontend developer based in Cardiff, UK. 👋🏻

I've spent the past seven years working in the web industry with teams that specialise in both agency-based and in-house projects, as well some very small freelance projects in my own time.

My current focus lies within the frontend territory of web development; crafting experiences and progressing my expertise in a range of well-known web frameworks and libraries like Next.js and React, as well as some much newer examples like Astro and SolidJS. I'm also a keen driver when it comes to adopting promising new tools like TypeScript and Tailwind - to name just a couple.

At the beginning of my career, I pursued my passion for design. It's an area that I still love to explore today in parallel with my development career and it's a huge factor in the reason I do what I do today. Working closely with the most talented designers, being a part of the iterative process, watching the concepts evolve, and then being the one to bring the ideas to life through experiences and interactions are all massive perks for me in my role.

Setting my focuses aside, my typical roles often take me beyond the frontend, all the way up and down the stack; working with a variety of CMSs like WordPress and Craft CMS, building server-side applications with PHP, Blade, and Twig, and writing and running CI/CD workflows.

Outside of my day-to-day, I spend most of my time with some combination of good people, good food, and comfortable environments; whether indoors or out. As an extension of my love for design, photography is also something that's always interested me. I would nevercall myself a photographer, but it's a field I've always loved to play in. There's something alluring about the challenge of capturing the beauty of colour, shape, and light - the type that can't always be accurately created through digital design - that always has me seeking the perfect shot.
