Who am I?
My name is Alexander Jack Hughes. But you can call me Alex. I am a startup founder and Software Engineer.
To give you a quick history lesson: I've been building startups for the last five (and a bit) years, and in between managed to get an MSc in Computer Science and write a few things for Hackernoon.
But enough about me, how have you been?

Rose to the top 1% of all freelancers worldwide, not just in web design, on PeoplePerHour.com
Scale Matters
Designed the UI/UX for one of the most downloaded plugins on WordPress
React + Node
One half of the duo who built Huckletree (in React of course)
What am I doing now?
Right now I'm building Huckletree; A Workspace Accelerator focused on interesting startups in Europe. This keeps me pretty busy, with a full boatload of Node microservices and React web apps to build. Plus, a bit of Laravel to maintain our monolith.
I still also build the occasional freelance web app if you're interested?
Portfolio
Really, I'm a maker. I make things.
Here are a couple of the things I've made that I'm most proud of.
BlockCC
Ever accidentally CC someone in an email? I have. That's why I built a Chrome plugin to stop it happening.
You're welcome!

I'm a big fan of using the right tool for the right job. Nowadays I mainly build React apps and Node APIs, but occassionaly I build the odd WordPress website like this. What do you think?

The internet is a beautiful place to share things - Especially ideas. That's why I write for Hackernoon, Medium, and Huckletree.
I also spend too much time on Twitter. And LinkedIn. On the internet basically.
