Hey! I'm Sam Benge, a full-stack web developer from Yorkshire.

It's lovely to meet you!

I'm a twenty-something web developer who lives and breathes web tech!

Wanna know more about the tech I use frequently? Give one of these lovely buttons a click to see the projects I've used them in!

Get to know me, if you'd like!

I started learning web development back in 2012

But before that, I did game development. Little, young me wanted to create a platform to host and sell games. While that platform no longer exists, some of the code and implementation was contributed towards up-and-coming platforms with similar intentions.

In 2017, I moved to Staffordshire to progress my career

Here, I got an First (Hons) in my degree in Web Development at Staffordshire University.

These days, I'm the technical lead

Right now, I'm the technical lead for a digital agency in Stoke. Primarily working with a PHP and Node.js stack, my job involves building complete projects from start to finish, scoping and quoting for new work, manage a team of developers and research into the latest technologies and ideas to keep up to date.

things have changed since this photo!

I'm a lighting nerd and DJ

Club lighting, band gigs and theatre shows - I've designed a lot of lighting shows! It's also the reason I created Ignite DMX, to help DJs and new lighting designers get started!

this drop felt way bigger than it was!

I sometimes drive 4x4's off-road

Driving around muddy roads, up and down the steep hills! It's always the aim to get the 4x4 as muddy as possible!
