Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month
Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

For us, Robb has built:
1. A full billing system
2. A premium content access system
3. A scalable email marketing system
All have transformed our business and you’d be daft to miss out on bringing him in to transform your business too.
