Hi, I'm Jack Bailey, I have too many hobbies and too little time but I'm a UK-based developer of a few projects on GitHub, freelancer, and full-time frontend developer. I also tinker with my homeserver, 3D printing & modelling, electronics and automation in my free time.

In 2013, (when I was 9) I was introducted to Scratch to make simple games and puzzles in, which I loved. The following year I was shown Python which was even better.
-
I continued to use Python, asking for harder tasks from the teacher, as well as making little text-based games outside of class.
-
I was gifted a Raspberry Pi in 2016 which introduced me to Linux, which although it mainly limited to game server hosting and emulation, it opened me up to this crazy new world.

In 2020 I picked up C# ready for my College course in Computer Science. At the start of 2021 I wanted a custom email domain, which led to a personal portfolio website in WordPress. I then learnt HTML/CSS/JS to have more control over the website. In October the same year, I started freelancing. I then started full-time work at an agency in 2023.
My website development skills are fully self-taught for free from YouTube videos and a lot of trial and error, outside of an intro to HTML in 2018 or so (which I didn't really take a liking to), and a bit of help from my Dad setting up WordPress.
You can view some of my work on GitHub or my portfolio, and get in contact with me here.
