Hi, I'm Henry

I make things on the internet

I’m a passionate lead developer, proficient in TS and Rust. I love learning and making stuff.

At the moment, I’m developing lqip.io, a high-performance on-demand image optimisation service for front-end devs.

I’m also the head of development at Roar Digital, where we make beautiful websites for estate agents and highly efficient digital marketing campaigns for businesses with geographically specific services.

If you’re interested in working together you should contact me.
