About me

Hi! I'm Jamie Dąbrowiecki, though you may know me online as jdab.

Based in East Devon, I am a website designer and developer specialising in WordPress. I have been a hobbyist from my early teens and creating websites in a professional capacity since 2013.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy watching my favourite football team Manchester United, gaming, playing golf and travelling to new places.
