04 / About Andrew

Self-taught, detail-led and still curious.

Andrew Graham is a self-taught programmer with more than 15 years of hands-on experience building websites, applications and the systems that keep organisations moving.

His route into software was driven by curiosity: understanding how systems work, identifying where they fall short and learning how to improve them. That practical foundation now informs a calm, commercially aware approach to complex technical work.

Is essentially a showcase site for him working as a programming freelancer. Should list services he offers (database optimization, web dev etc.) - make about 8 services. Also make a list of references of previous projects, they should link to the following (and say he made the websites and systems behind them): https://littleoneslondon.co.uk/ https://alicek.design/ https://www.webheads.co.uk/ https://www.kensington-nannies.co.uk/ https://www.thewebkitchen.co.uk/ Each reference should have a description of when the work was done, what was done and the clients satisfaction. Include about me that talk about how he is self taught and has 15+ years of experience in programming. Make the site in general VERY visually appealing.

Plain communicationClear decisions without unnecessary jargon.
Practical architectureTechnology proportionate to the problem.
