Hi, I'm Mike

This is my home page, it tells you a bit about my passions, my work, my beliefs and my life.

About

I am very experienced front end web developer with just under twenty five years building interactive and dynamic web. I am passionate about the web and its potential to change the planet and hopefully save us from the sorry mess we have arrived at.

My core beliefs lie in radical simplicity and inclusivity, I love being outside in nature and believe that England has some of the best countryside and coastline in the world. My other big passion is dancing and I try to practice 12 to 16 hours a week.
