who
am I?Alfie Renn! I am UK-based, and currently living in Sheffield. I am an enthusiastic and experimental technophile, who loves to see what forces for good are possible using technology.
what
do I do?I make websites, I make software, and I make good decisions. I know web fundamentals inside-out. As for tools, I use Eleventy, a robust and extendible static-site generator; I use Vue, a powerful front-end framework; and I use Python to supplement my work, with powerful scripting.
where
can you find me?Usually around GitHub..! Or many more places across the web. But, your literal answer is... right here on this website!
when
can I do what you want?Likely soon! Send me an email → alfie@alfierenn.dev, and we can take it from there.
why
do I do what I do?I love the Internet! I think it is such a great opportunity that we have it. I think the ability to make stuff that is easily shared on the web should be accessible to anyone and everyone, and respect this view when I make things for the Internet by making them as simple and robust as possible.
how
will I do what you want?That depends entirely on what you want and what you have already. Let's talk about it and share ideas together :)

Alfie was extremely helpful and supportive with our local charity. He was generous with advice & suggestions when we hit a tech glitch and has the knack for explaining options & actions very clearly and effectively.
Susanna, local charityThis is very neat thank you for this contribution.
Alexandre Lavigne, open-source pull requestAlfie was great at explaining web fundamentals in terms I understood. I can now edit content on the website he set up for me, thanks to his help and guidance. He even gave small tasks and suggestions for me to help me build up my own web development knowledge.
