About Me

My name is Nate Wright and I’ve been building websites and apps for more than 20 years. If it’s on the web, I can build it and make it accessible to anyone on any device.

I had a previous career in journalism and I’m interested in working on projects at the intersection of information, communication, and social change.

See what I do below and contact me if you think I can help with something you are working on.

[object Object]

I build reliable apps that help individuals and organisations collect, manage and analyse data.

Experience

In my career, I’ve worn all sorts of hats.

I’ve worked alone and in teams, led on frontend and backend tasks, and taken on documentation and developer relations.

I’m comfortable working across the full stack, from design to database and everything in between. Take a closer look at my technical experience below.
