Affordable & reliable full-stack developer
Hi, my name's Charlie! I'm a seasoned software developer with a solid foundation in computer science and over five years of hands-on experience. I thrive on tackling complex challenges and delivering high-quality projects.
Based in St Albans, UK, I specialise in freelance offerings spanning web development and data analysis. Whether it's creating dynamic websites that captivate audiences or delving into datasets to extract actionable insights, I bring a blend of technical expertise and creative flair to every project. I have experience in search engine optimisation (SEO) and conversion-rate optimisation (CRO) - so I can help ensure you capture your entire audience with your online presence.
I've been building websites since I was 15 years old, and I have extensive professional experience in data science and data analysis. I have recently launched my own business, and I'm thrilled to have spare time to take on some freelance projects - as I get started on my journey, I'm running a sale for a limited time only, so get in touch ASAP if you'd like to collaborate!

Maximise growth with SEO and CRO
Creating a great website is only the first step to cementing your position online. You've got to ensure you have top-notch search engine optimisation (SEO) and conversion-rate optimisation (CRO) to get your business to the top of the pile and engage with customers.
SEO is getting people to click on your site, and CRO is ensuring they engage when they get there.
SEO
Get people on your site
SEO is a form of optimisation that focusses on getting your website ranking as high as possible in search engines.
I can help you nail the SEO on your new or existing website, from the basic (making sure you have relevant keywords on your homepage), all the way to the complex (adding specific structured data behind-the-scenes).
I also make sure to stay up-to-date with the best SEO practices, as they can change over time when search engines update their ranking algorithms.
CRO
Increase engagement
CRO is more experimental than SEO, and focusses more on how we get your customers to complete their journey - such as signing up or making a purchase. I have 3 main focusses when it comes to CRO:
- Psychology -
What emotions does this design invoke?
- User Interface -
Is this menu easy-to-use?
- Data Analysis -
Are users stopping at a particular stage?
It's about understanding user behaviour through testing and iteration, and refining the customer experience to maximise conversions.
SEO and CRO is an ever-changing practice, and it takes a lot of time and experience to optmise to the best of your ability. I can ensure you are set up for success as I have recently gone through this entire process myself, building and growing my business autoregcheck.co.uk. I'm more than happy to offer a free consultation on the SEO/CRO needs for your business, just get in touch!
Data Analysis
No matter what industry you work in, data is everywere, but are you utilising your data in the most effective way? With my vast experience working with data, from basic visualisation to training large language models, I know how to answer the most important questions about your business before you've even asked them. Questions such as...
- How valid are my current assumptions about my business?
- How much stock should I order next month?
- How do external factors (e.g. rail strikes) affect my sales?
- Who should I target in my advertising?
- What percentage of my actual customers match my target audience?
From a one-off data visualisation report to a long-term data analysis breakdown - I'm here to crunch the numbers using industry-standard processes. Every business case is different - with data varying in nature, scale, and quality - so please get in touch and we can discuss your needs.
