Hello, I’m Mike.
A UK-based, front-end software engineer living in Sussex, working remotely and occasionally in London.
I am currently working at DAZN, previously at Zone/Cognizant. I’ve spent over 14 years working across the tech, marketing, publishing and video engineering sectors to deliver high-end web apps, sites and products.
While my daily tools include TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML and CSS, and I also have a love for UX, UI design and visualisations.
