I’m Dylan, a web developer and designer in Newcastle upon Tyne. I work by turning ideas into clear, reliable websites and apps — with thoughtful design and solid engineering.
Thoughtful design. Reliable development. Clear communication.
01 / Selected work
A companion for the next quest.
A HeroQuest companion app, built with Vue and TypeScript. A side project that brings my love of tabletop games and web development to the same table.
Finding a way through the dark.
An automap mod for Lunacid. A little help with navigation, made for a game whose strange corners are worth exploring.
Another world in the making.
An unofficial Lunacid expansion prototype, with a 45–60 minute first visit, puzzles, hidden secrets and twelve watches to uncover. Still in playtest; more here when it’s ready to step out of the shadows.
From storefront to fulfilment.
A website and operational web app for online ordering and inventory, with a Python backend and QR scanning to help the team track products and fulfil orders.
Ranger sheets, rolls and campaign notes, on one device.
A companion app for Rangers of Shadowdeep, built with Vue. It keeps ranger sheets, XP and level-ups, post-scenario rolls, conditions, companions and journal notes in the browser, with export and import for backups and a dyslexia-friendly reading mode.
SnailQuest and the Lunacid mods are independent fan projects, not affiliated with the games’ creators or rights holders. Illustrations above are portfolio artwork, not app screenshots.

02 / A little about me
I’m a web developer and designer based in Newcastle upon Tyne. I build websites and applications that help people get things done, making complex workflows feel straightforward.
My work moves between Vue and TypeScript web apps, React Native mobile apps, and Python backends. I care about the bits people notice — and the reliable engineering they shouldn’t have to think about.
More about me03 / What I bring
Responsive websites and e-commerce experiences that are clear, fast and unmistakably yours.
Web and mobile tools for the less glamorous, very important parts of running a business.
Creative interfaces, game tools and prototypes that turn technical ideas into engaging, hands-on experiences.
Interactive study / Design in motion
A small demonstration of creative development. Shape the flow, change the palette and explore how a responsive interface can feel — without getting in the way.
