Steve Bates – web and mobile developer

Born at Good Hope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield in June 1985 I have grown up and been raised in the West Midlands. Currently living in Shenstone, Staffordshire. I drive a Vauxhall Frontera 4×4 which is great for towing but does not look as great as my Audi A6, like to watch mainly documentaries and the odd fictional program such as Doctor Who and spend most my time on the MacBook programming or learning something new.

I’m an experienced web, desktop and mobile developer of over 10 years. During this time I’ve worked with many different technologies and platforms. It’s always hard to summarise my full skill set so the technologies which I’m most comfortable with are below. This is not a complete list, just an insight so if your sat there wondering if I know a certain technology then get in touch below and I’ll let you know.

Unlike other part time developers, I am fully insured and professional. You can download a copy of my public liability certificate and professional indemnity certificate both with cover of £1m with Hiscox Insurance.
