At work with Luci the LurcherHi, I'm Classic Niall. Twenty-odd years building websites, apps, and games from a desk in West Yorkshire.
I work directly with businesses and agencies who need someone that can actually get things done. No account managers, no handoffs, no "let me check with the team." You talk to me, I build it. That's the whole arrangement.
My work covers the full stack: front-end, back-end, APIs, databases, deployment, and everything in between. I also build games, handle server infrastructure, and take on IoT and hardware-adjacent projects when they're interesting enough. If it involves code and a deadline, I'm probably useful.
I've been doing this long enough to know what works, what's overcomplicated, and when someone's trying to sell you something you don't need. I'd rather give you an honest assessment than a polished pitch.
