About me

I am a British born Canadian citizen and permanent resident of the United States. More importantly I'm a web developer/designer living in Chicago. I believe development and design should work together hand in hand.

Pulleysandstrings represents my portfolio spanning from 2007 to the present. As the technology landscape has changed so have my skills. I've done everything from Flash micro-sites to HTML5 rich sites incorporating new technologies along the way. I really love what I do.

Television time-lapse photography

I love time-lapse photography. What would a time-lapse photo of a running television look like? The photos below were taken with a Canon DSLR camera with various setting tweaks and with minimal photo processing. See below. Or just go to Flickr.

Tracking data app

Data is beautiful. I wanted to track my personal data (activities and consumption, for now) and represent that data on a single page. My first problem is, how do I enter the data? Answer: Build a web app that's super easy to use. Still in its infancy, this app will be highly flexible for whatever data I choose to track in the future. Built using jQuery Mobile.
