Tom Freeman

With over 9 years of commercial coding experience building websites and web based applications for government departments and businesses all over the world; Tom is the Technical Whizz Kid at 18a. As well as having a keen eye for design and being a master all things XHTML and CSS, he is also extremely experienced with LAMP technologies and all the tools required to make cutting edge websites.

Tom has benefitted from a wealth of experience gained from working with a large variety of clients and development teams, and putting the theory learnt doing a degree in Computing to good use building fast and scalable web based systems.

Being a bit of an internet evangelist, Tom loves to use and promote new technologies (and there are plenty of them I can tell you!).

It was his degree that brought Tom to Bristol; and it's his love for the city that makes him stay. But he still returns home to his parent's farm in Herefordshire regularly to catch some fresh country air.
