Christopher Nathaniel
I’m a developer and designer based in Suffolk, UK. I build websites and applications, working across ecommerce, WordPress, Laravel and React.
I write about projects I’m working on, things I’m learning and life outside work. You’ll also find notes on books and running.
You can see my work, read a little about me, or get in touch.
