Tim Osborn

Front End Web Developer

about

I’m a front end developer from Melbourne. I spend most of my days amongst React components and Django views.

I’ve been delivering end-to-end web services as a freelancer since 2004, from the days when 'web design' was a thing. I spent the best part of the 00's working as a freelancer delivering complete web presence solutions for small businesses.

Nowadays, that nebulous title has been superseded by a plethora of roles: UX design, interaction design, information architect, web developer, front end developer, visual designer, SEO consultant, copywriter, project manager, product owner. Thankfully, now I just do Javascript… okay, and responsive styles… and Django APIs… and user flow diagrams, and…

Otherwise, it’s B-grade sci-fi, BJJ, folky guitar, and hanging out in the sandpit with my boys.
