About
Hi, I’m Sigurd, an Edinburgh based freelance WordPress developer with over 5 years experience.

My route into web development was not the typical one although my introduction to WordPress sure was! I built my first Wordpress site in 2018 to promote myself as a freelance musician, then started taking on small projects as a freelance developer and eventually did a 3 month internship at a company called “Piranha Designs” which was based in New Town. This was a fantastic experience and lead to my decision to go full time into web development. In 2020 I completed CodeClan (a Software Development bootcamp based in Edinburgh), landed my first full time role in as a developer and have never looked back.
Since then I have worked in French and Scottish tech companies with top quality developers, allowing my technical skills to progress a huge amount. Working as a freelance developer for a French start up was a particularly memorable experience as I was part of a small team who built out the core software which powered the company for several years. Seeing software which you have built serving the purpose which is was made for is a very satisfying experience and motivates me to keep building great web applications.
When not writing code I play drums with 7 Hills ceilidh band, can be found dancing Lindy hop or exploring the great outdoors which is just what one needs after a week spent behind the computer !
