About
I’m Arron, a filmmaker and software engineer based in Hebden Bridge, between Leeds and Manchester.
On the film side I run GlidingPixel, making short documentary-style films about how things are made and the people who make them, for craft businesses and community organisations. I work as a one-person crew with my own kit: Sony A7 V, DJI RS 5 gimbal, DJI Mic 2, lighting, and a DJI Air 3S for aerials (CAA registered and insured). I edit and grade in DaVinci Resolve Studio and hand over graded files ready for the web and social.
On the software side I spent ten years as a back-end engineer, most recently five years as a senior developer at Auto Trader building Java and Spring Boot microservices, and before that at Ocado Technology on AWS. I now build mobile apps in Expo and React Native with TypeScript. I take remote back-end, full-stack and app contracts alongside the film work.
Either way you get someone who’s used to briefs, deadlines and clean, well-named deliverables.
