Available to hire
Hi, I’m Andrew Hancock. I’m a full-stack IT professional focused on helping small businesses thrive online. I build, debug and optimise websites and back-end systems using Node.js, React, PHP and Python, with a strong emphasis on reliable infrastructure on AWS, Google Cloud and Linux. I enjoy turning complex problems into robust, maintainable solutions and I’m always eager to learn new technologies.
In addition to my own contracting work, I’ve led development teams, migrated data centers and kept operations running smoothly for clients across the UK and Sweden. I’m curious by nature, with an interest in heat pump technology and building automation, which keeps my mindset adaptable across industries.
