Scott SpenceHello World!
This is my blog where I write about many things, including, but not limited to JavaScript, React, Gatsby, Toast, Tailwind, Svelte and many more web dev related topics.
Hi I’m Scott

I’m a web developer for Creative Products at Karmarama, based in Farringdon, London UK. Currently working from home.
From the 26th of April 2021 I will be working with GraphCMS as a Developer Advocate.
I create content written in the blog here and also in educational videos supporting the written content.
I’m a second career dev, that reskilled from a VBA analyst developer role into web development.
I’m a massive fan of the Jamstack I have a wealth of knowledge working with Gatsby.

As a web developer I’ve worked in government digital transformation and creative digital.
My personality
I find it hard to identify my traits, so instead I took the 16Personalities test, here are my results.
My interests
Since COVID hit we’ve all been housebound for well over a year now. I like to go running daily or every other day.
I’m obsessed with watching anything to do with mechanical engineering.
I play Borderlands 3 on Stadia, then Borderlands 1 and 2 on the Nintendo Switch.
Music I listen to
I’m a massive Drum and Bass fan, I have a Spotify playlist I like to listen to for coding with the title for which I stole from Phil Hawksworth:
Other playlists I’d recommend would be the UKF Drum and Bass Top 100:
Now Playing - Spotify 🎧
Podcasts I listen to
