Hi, I'm Alistair!
I'm a web developer based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and use the pronouns he/him. I love front-end development—particularly CSS, HTML, and web performance.
I currently work as Lead Developer at the creative agency Series Eight. You can find out more about my Projects and Work, about me or view my CV. I occasionally write about web technologies on my blog.
Feel free to contact me for a chat about the web, find out any more info, invite me to speak or just to say hi!
Work and projects
My day job is head of development at Series Eight, where I manage the team and dev strategy, and work on a load of websites, processes and tooling. Check out S8 for some examples!
An open-source project I maintain, adding the ability to control when components load in the JS framework Alpine.js. A must-have for high-performance Alpine.js sites!
This talk explains how I used Accessibility Testing to teach my team accessibility, told through the incredibly serious topic of the movie 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'
A talk looking at how with a little modern CSS and JS you can build cool and exciting effects on the web easier than you may think!
