Welcome to the internet!
Hello, you have just reached the internet. Congratulations! It always helps to be on the internet if you want to read an "internet site" about "internet things".
On this site you'll find all kinds of things about code and stuff: javascript, typescript, css, html, canvas, angular, react, node, express and more. If you'd like to learn more about myself, this blog, or the internet you should checkout the about page, otherwise get reading!

Jake's Video Party
Shortly after the lockdown(s) as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak I found myself in a lot of video calls with friends, family, and colleagues. Although Zoom seemed to work quite nicely for work, my friends and I really struggled to find a free group video chat that was easy to setup and didn't have a horrible user interface or poor video quality... so in my usual spirit, I wrote my own. Go check it out. It's free and easy. I originally intended to add screen sharing and a lot of other features. Hopefully I'll have some time soon. Regardless, we still use it regularly, and it does just fine.

Async - Website
Async is an inclusive web tech meetup based in Brighton, UK. Although I didn't build the original Async website, in 2019 I was responsible for a complete rebrand in an attempt to appeal to a more diverse audience - new logo, color scheme, fonts, and completely re-styled the website. This rebrand spans the entire Async community including their Slack, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
