Tom Brookes

Web Developer. Solutions & Implementation.

I take designs, specs and half-built ideas and turn them into things that work, carefully.

About

I spent three years as a solutions and implementation specialist at NAVEX, turning client designs and requirements into live, working web platforms. Before that, I taught myself to code during a cinema management furlough, then trained properly through the Le Wagon bootcamp while working full time. I like problems with a clear before and after: an idea, a mockup, a mess of requirements, and then a working thing on the other side of it.
