I build things for the web.
And dabble with electronics.

I work in marketing technology as an implementation consultant at Dotdigital. This is where I share what I've been building in my spare time.

Things I've built

A few side projects. Mostly an excuse to try things out and learn as I go.

Project overview

Featured project

F1 News Hub

I built F1 News Hub to bring headlines from different Formula 1 news sites into one place. You can search for a story or filter by source, then head to the original site to read it.

Built with
Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
How it works
It collects the headlines and links back to the publishers. The full articles stay on their own sites.
  • Next.js
  • Tailwind CSS

Gaming & side projects

FS25 Discord Bot

I built a Discord bot to keep an eye on a Farming Simulator 25 server. It posts updates when the server goes online or offline, players join or leave, and things change on the farm.

  • Python
  • Discord
  • XML

It can flag low stock and new production pallets, too. Commands like /status, /players, and /production let you check what's happening from Discord.

This started as a bit of vibe coding with AI. I’ve kept working on it since, making changes and figuring things out along the way.

Raspberry Pi tinkering · Prototype

Fish tank monitor

A little experiment bringing together my interest in web development and Raspberry Pi. Fish Monitor is a React dashboard that gets temperature readings from my Pi REST API and shows them on a colour-coded gauge.

  • React
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • REST API

It's still a prototype: the API reads temperature data from a local file, and the pH gauge uses sample values. The two projects cover the dashboard and the API behind it.

Work and spare time

A bit about me

I'm an implementation consultant at Dotdigital. I help clients set up personalisation, working out what they want to do and getting it working with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

I started at Fresh Relevance in customer support and later led the Professional Services team before moving into consulting. I've spent a lot of time helping people figure out the technology as well as working on the code.

Outside work, I like having a side project on the go. I tend to learn by trying things out and figuring them out along the way.

I also dabble with Raspberry Pi, ESP32 boards, and random sensor kits. Mostly just tinkering and seeing what I can get working.
