Hello I'mRichard BaconSoftware Developer

About

I'm Richard, a software developer from Nottingham, England. I have an interest in all modern web technologies, especially the React ecosystem and the JAMStack.

I'm a creative problem solver and have a particular passion for creating beautiful, functional and accessible frontend interfaces.

I strive to write clean, easily maintainable, performant code and advocate the use of practices such as Test Driven Development and Functional Programming.

I enjoy building my own personal projects as a way of learning and improving, as well as contributing to collaborative and open source projects.
