Nathan May

Personal Profile

Self-taught web developer focusing on bespoke website design and development, with hands-on experience building websites, small web tools and technical projects using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, Express, Python, Git and GitHub.

I have completed the Google AI Professional Certificate and have been building real portfolio projects that show practical use of AI-assisted workflows, web development, documentation, testing, hosting and deployment. I use AI tools to support planning, debugging, research and productivity, while still checking the work myself and taking responsibility for the final result.

I am building towards an independent bespoke web design business, combining technical learning, practical development and client-focused work.
