The Gratitude Machine

The person behind the machine.
I'm Kevin. I build small, kind corners of the internet here, mostly late at night with a cup of coffee going cold next to the keyboard.
Why this exists
Most of the internet is built to keep you scrolling. I wanted to make a few places that do the opposite: you show up, notice something good, maybe leave something good behind, and go on with your day a little lighter.
Every app here is an experiment in that. Some will stick, some won't, and that's part of the fun.
What I do
I've been building for the web for a long time, back when "responsive" just meant answering your email. These days I do a bit of everything, from pixels to servers.
Websites & web apps
From hand-built pages to apps with a lot of moving parts.
Front-end
Pages that move, glow and feel alive (like this one).
Back-end & data
The quiet plumbing that keeps things fast and safe.
Design
Logos, banners, illustrations and the odd blocky cartoon.
Servers & security
Keeping the lights on, the backups fresh and the bots out.
Helping people
The one you call when the printer won't print. Happily.
Say hi
A proper way to reach me is coming soon. Until then, the nicest way to say hello is to leave a gratitude somewhere.
