Hi, I’m Bruce Taylor 👋

I build websites and have been doing so for just over two decades, and am currently contracted as a "Full Stack Engineer" for Admiral Group Plc, working on their customer facing websites.

I'm not a "10x developer" (satirical video), with or without "Ai". I'm a solid 1x: I read the docs, break things, figure them out, fix them, try to give credit where credit is due, and spend time on things outside of engineering, like hobbies, friends, and family.

Here's a bit more about me.
