Hi, I'm
Alan
I code here
I’m a self taught explorer at the intersection of fluid art, design, and technology. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, so I’ve learnt a thing or two, or twenty.

Process
Grab a Coffee and Chat
First things first, let’s talk! You tell me all about your big idea, and I’ll be all ears. We’ll chat about what you want to achieve, the nitty-gritty details, and any hurdles we might have to jump over.
Plan of Attack
Once we’ve had our chat, I’ll put together a game plan. You'll get a clear-cut proposal from me – it’s like a roadmap showing where we’re headed, how long it’ll take, and what it’s going to cost. Once you give it the thumbs up, we're good to go!
Getting Down to Business
This is where I roll up my sleeves and get to work. With my trusty keyboard and over 20 years of coding under my belt, I’ll start turning your idea into reality. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you in the loop with regular updates so we stay on the same page.
Fine-Tuning
Now, let’s make sure everything's spot on. This stage is all about testing and tweaking, making sure every little detail is perfect. Your input here is super important – after all, it's your vision we're bringing to life!
Blast Off
Time to show off your project to the world! Once we've buffed and shined everything, we hit the launch button. But hey, I’m still here for you even after we go live. Think of me as your go-to for any support or upkeep you need.
Checking In
I’m not just hitting the road once we’re done. I like to check in with you to make sure everything’s running smoothly. And if you’re thinking about round two or a new project, I’m all ears!
Questions? Answers.
Do you make apps or websites or what?
Both, actually! I'm like a Swiss Army knife in the digital world – handling everything from website design to app development. You name it: front-end, middleware, back-end, I’ve got it covered. It’s kind of my thing to juggle all these pieces and make them fit perfectly.
Are you more of a designer or a developer?
Well, I’m a bit of both. I start from scratch on the design side of things and then bring it all to life with my coding skills. I mostly use NextJS and TailWind, keeping it fresh and custom for each client. It’s like being an architect and a builder at the same time!
So, how much am I gonna fork out for a website or an app?
That's like asking, 'How much does a road trip cost?' It's all over the place, right? Depends on where you're headed, how long you’re staying, and whether you're camping out or going five-star. Same deal with websites and apps. Tell me what you're dreaming up, your budget, and I'll break it down for you – no surprises, promise!
How long before my site or app goes live?
Think of it like planning a big event. A small, cozy gathering? Maybe 2 months top. But if we’re talking a big bash, that's more like 3-4 months of prep. It's all about nailing those details and making sure everything's just right.
You handle big projects too?
Oh, for sure! I run this cool remote agency, but I'm also in this global network of top-notch design and dev wizards. So, whether it's a solo mission or a big league project, I’ve got the right crew for the job.
How’d you get so good at all this stuff?
It's been a wild ride! I'm pretty much self-taught. There’s something about tackling a problem and figuring it out that just gets me going. And with all this new AI tech popping up, it's like there's never a dull moment. Keeps me on my toes and always learning something new.
Contact
If you like burritos (or brilliant coding), drop me a line! Let's chat about how my skills can align with your vision. Whether it's for a groundbreaking project or just to share tech insights over a virtual coffee, I'm here to connect.
