David Jonathan Marland Semantic, progressive, responsive and responsible Full Stack Web Developer and Software Engineer

Not currently available for work

I am a senior web developer/software engineer open for opportunities to work on interesting web based projects. I believe in the core of the web, and seek to build web-friendly projects that are accessible to all.

I have a particular affinity for Modern PHP (7.3+) using modern coding practices, though I am also proficient in Javascript with Node and React. I like to choose the right tool for the job.
