About
I’m Christopher Nathaniel, a developer and designer based in Suffolk, UK.
I build websites, plugins and web applications. My work brings together ecommerce development, website design and application UX.
Design and development
I enjoy working on both sides of a project: figuring out how something should look and behave, then building it. That can mean designing a brand, developing a shop or making an existing system easier to use.
Much of my work uses WordPress and WooCommerce. I also build applications with Laravel and React, and experiment with AI tools and automation. I like having a problem to work through and something useful to show for it.
Away from the screen
I run on roads and trails, and do canicross with my Labrador, Cooper. I also cycle and read. Those interests give me plenty to think about outside development.
I want this site to hold more of that side of my life too. Alongside the work I’ve made, I’m keeping space for notes on books, running and the things I’m learning.
