about me
Story
My name is Will and I'm a full-stack web developer. I became a developer to help myself and others get ideas from inside our brains, onto the screen and into our hands.
I started experimenting with HTML and CSS in the early 2000's, using a combination of tools including Dreamweaver and Notepad to write a few pet projects in spare time. After 10+ years focusing on music education and performance, I wanted to further my understanding of technology and decided to go back to what fascinated me all those years ago: web development. Now more than ever, the internet is always on and always around us. Having the skills to control the grand medium of the Internet has enabled me to bring my ideas to life in creative and interesting ways.
Now I'm looking for an exciting new opportunity, where I can contribute to a team that wants to make an impact on this world. Please check out my projects and feel free to reach out if you have any questions, want to work together or discuss an available opportunity, or just to say "hi"!
