About Steve

Steve Tucker

I'm Steve Tucker; a 23 year-old web developer living and working in Huddersfield, England.

As both a hobby and a career I regularly practice PHP, CSS, XHTML to web standards, Javascript and elegant DOM manipulation. I love my wife, my job, various music (Im particularly fond of U2) and a cold pint of Guinness.

I've been developing websites seriously since the summer of 2000 and have never received a day's training in my life - the latter of which I initially regretted but am now rather proud of. I work to W3C web standards, XHTML Strict whenever I can, and enjoy the satisfaction I get from the work I do immensely.

My day job is that of a web developer. I run the Huddersfield design firm EyePlot Digital with a mate called Jay Hands, who is also a member of GAWDs. Occasionally I write for .net magazine and review sites on StyleGala.

My favourite colour is red, my favourite number is eight. I love sports and creative passtimes. I rarely watch TV but love a good movie. My biggest risk of repetitive strain disorder is checking my email and my biggest gripe is without a doubt spam.

Drink wise I love coffee (dacaff, of late) and my top dish is Indian curry. I'm not a cook but can make a mean Pot Noodle, and someday soon I plan to buy a dishwasher.
