About

I've been building web applications for around five years now often using React, plain old vanilla javascript, and often being a victim to the shiny object syndrome.

With a master’s degree in Computer Science, I am currently working as a web developer at Royal London Equity Release, where I work as part of a dynamic team focused on building bespoke web applications to transform the equity release space.

When I'm not building on the frontend I find myself writing serverless APIs and racking up infinite debt by leaving stuff running on AWS or wiping my tears while going through documentation.

When I'm not breaking things on the internet, I'm busy playing football, running, or writing blog articles.

Lewis King

Head of Software Engineering

I've been fortunate to have Allan working in the Responsible development team for the past 18 months and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is incredibly hardworking, consistently delivers quality work and always demonstrates a "no task is too big" attitude. Outside of his technical skills, Allan is a genuinely friendly and supportive team member. He brings a positive energy that boosts team morale on a daily basis. I have no doubt he'll go far in his career & will be an asset to any team or organization fortunate enough to have him.
