Rob Wakeman

About

I'm Rob, a front-end developer based in London

From a background in the music industry, including a few years as a professional musician, I transitioned into front-end web development through self-learning.

With over 10 years commercial experience, I have created websites for clients such as Tate, Central Saint Martins – UAL and Norwich University of the Arts.

On some projects I work alongside a designer - whatever it takes to solve problems that meet both business and user needs.

For clients I deliver high quality work on time with excellent communication throughout the project lifecycle. And I offer ongoing support and guidance after sign off.

Rob has fantastic attention to detail and thoroughness in his approach, which I greatly appreciate. His technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities have been invaluable in meeting any request or challenge I have put to him, and in delivering a site that meets our needs.

Client: Central Saint Martins – UAL
