About
Welcome, friend. I’m Tom(bo), a web professional based in Bristol with 15 years of experience, specialising in interactive, high-performance websites.
I partner with design teams, agencies, and mission-driven organisations to turn concepts into practical, end-to-end solutions that balance usability, technical robustness, and real-world constraints.
I enjoy digging into the details of how things work, solving problems pragmatically, and finding creative ways to stretch budgets while maintaining quality and polish. Like MacGyver *, but for websites.
(*Or a less fluffy Rocket Raccoon, if you’re too young to get the reference.)
Who I Work With
- Design and web agencies: Supporting complex or creative projects and translating designs into reliable, production-ready code.
- Startups and product teams: Collaborating from early prototypes to interactive features and full launches, ensuring solutions scale with your goals.
- Charities and organisations: Building accessible, maintainable websites that maximise budgets and deliver meaningful impact.
Creative & Experimental Work
Alongside client projects, I explore creative coding through web animation, 3D experiments, interactive data visualisations, and small games. These projects are a space to experiment, learn, and push ideas that often feed back into client work.
Technical Approach
I work primarily with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WordPress where appropriate, integrating animation libraries (GSAP, Lottie), 3D frameworks (Three.js), and interactive tools to bring designs to life. I focus on performance, accessibility, and scalability, ensuring every project is fast, robust, and user-friendly.
Selected Experience
I spent two years developing an iOS app for Matter Neuroscience, collaborating with designers and product managers on prototypes, interface design, and production polish — my first experience in SwiftUI and app development.
In my spare time, I’m creating Tangermarine, an indie video game where you control a tangerine soldier facing waves of undead vegetables.
