I started in 2018 building WordPress themes at EverestThemes. Custom plugins, strict version control, and documentation nobody asked for but everybody later used. Four of those themes are still live on WordPress.org, each one having passed a human code review to get there.

From 2020 I taught computing to school students. C, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, to rooms full of people who told me immediately when I was not making sense. It is the most useful training I have had. Explaining things clearly turns out to be most of this job.

Since 2023 I have been at Sterling Wells in Kathmandu, looking after a growing estate of company websites, helping architect in-house products, and guiding the developers coming up behind me. Alongside that I take on a small number of projects directly, mostly for teams in the UK and Australia.
