About
Anders is a passionate and curious developer who has decided to focus himself on development for the front end of websites. Using the traditional materials of his trade over the last five years he has honed his craft. His HTML is semantically decisive and succinct as well as both expressive and eloquent. His Javascript is both sensible and creative, approaching problems by making the best use of his ever expanding knowledge. Anders has been commended on both the breadth and specificity of his CSS skills.
The combination of these three mean that he is capable of creating interesting and unusual, on brand and responsive websites which are both accessible and aesthetically pleasing. Anders is constantly reading and researching in his field, embracing the best new techniques and discarding those which are merely fads – this means that he will always strive to keep his work at the cutting edge of web development.
Availability
Based in Suffolk, Anders is available to work in and around East Anglia, providing work on a contract/freelance basis. He is available to work remotely throughout Britain and Europe. If your company is interested in creating excellent products and services with a focus on quality, please contact Anders on via email.
Projects
FESuffolk
I have organised a front end based user group in my home town of Ipswich in suffolk. Every month we meet to talk tech and have presentations based on front end development and design. These meet ups have helped with the cross pollination of ideas and the understanding of new development concepts.
JS Dev
JS Dev is a curated resource of links associated with front end development. I will be regularly updating the site with useful and interesting information.
Victoria Guthrie
Vick Needed a quick landing page to promote herself online, a responsive landing page went from idea and copy to live site in a few hours.
Github Pages
I tend to keep a lot of smaller projects on github, I was keen to host and show these little experiments so a simple landing page making use of the best of CSS3 was in order!

Anders is extremely easy to work with and has fit into our work ethic and style immediately.
Anders is an expert in front end web development and his skills and knowledge seemly have no limit. His thoughtful approach to projects means he doesn't just try to get the work done, he develops with future work in mind, leaving code in a very maintainable state for additional work later down the line.
I'd be more than happy to hire Anders again and hope to work with him very soon.
