    Rob has been monkeying around with website development for more than 15 years and is sure that he’ll get the hang of it someday soon. When not in front of a computer you can find him teaching kids to code, building random electronic projects or geeking out over something or other.

    Dave learnt programming in 1993 when the internet was in its infancy, since then he’s worked with some of the best people in the industry on some great projects. He is now a freelancer WordPress Web Developer with Duo48. For the last few years he’s turned his attention to doing what he loves most, using his technical skills to ‘give back’, because he believes we can always make things a bit better. He also volunteered at WordCamp Bristol 2019
