Background
Experienced .Net developer and Umbraco Certified Master with a demonstrated history of working in marketing, advertising and corporate communications, where reliable content management and fast page performance both matter. As an Umbraco and .Net specialist, the focus is always on solutions that are robust, maintainable, and a good fit for the team that has to live with them.
Skilled in Umbraco, .Net, C#, Razor, SQL, MVC and continuous integration and deployment — covering the full lifecycle from initial architecture through to ongoing hosting, monitoring and support.
Happy to work headless or traditional — greenfield builds, legacy migrations, or architecture reviews. Whether a project needs a brand new Umbraco installation, an upgrade from an older version, or a second opinion on an existing codebase, the same pragmatic approach applies: ship something that works, is maintainable, and doesn't need constant babysitting.
Based in the UK and available for remote work with clients and agencies across the country. Comfortable joining an existing team's processes and tooling, or advising on what those processes should look like from scratch.
What people say
Simon is the Real Deal. When Simon started as a Technical Architect, I didn't truly appreciate what the role involved until I worked with him. Not only did he embody the role, he excelled beyond his remit — quickly becoming the go-to for the most technically involved projects, leaned on for strategic decisions and coding standards.
I worked with Simon at Merchant Cantos for a number of years. He was highly skilled and always able to come up with a good solution for any issue. His knowledge in .Net and Umbraco meant we avoided pitfalls and created sites of high quality, easy for the client to use.
Simon was incredibly knowledgeable about Web development and always on hand to help solve problems. As well as being technically gifted, he's approachable and possesses a great sense of humour — which always helps in the office.
