Hello! I'm James, a Full-Stack Software Engineer from London living in Washington D.C, with a profound interest in programming and design. I've worked in a variety of different industries, from digital media publishing, to video games, telecoms and financial technology. I always enjoy a good challenge while bringing a project to life and love experimenting with new technologies. I've worked with a number of frameworks and tools such as React, Redux, Angular, TypeScript, Node, Python, Java, AWS, Jenkins, Photoshop, Figma and more. I'm always expanding my knowledge base while keeping up with industry best practices. If you'd like to hear about what I'm learning or working on right now you can check out my developer blog.
In my spare time I enjoy exercising. My last recorded bike ride was 2.25 miles and my longest run is a marathon.

I've worked and collaborated with a number of companies, brands and individuals in my career; such as Blizzard Entertainment, Capital One, The Washington Post, LA Times, MLB, Valve Software and more. You can find a copy of my latest resume here.
Open Source
In my spare time I enjoy making contributions to open source. I've also created a few projects of my own which you can view below or by going to my GitHub profile.
GitHub Pages Deploy Action
GitHub Action which deploys a project to GitHub Pages. It can be configured to upload your production-ready code into any repository branch you'd like.
Fetch API Data Action
Originally created for the 2020 GitHub Actions hackathon. This GitHub Action will fetch authenticated API data and download it into your workspace as a json file.
