// hello, world

I'm Chris McGee.

Web developer and cybersecurity enthusiast based in Cumbria, UK. I build things for the web, break things for fun, and write about both.

Web Development

Exploring how things break to understand how to make them stronger. I guide clients through Cyber Essentials work, Plus audits, and practical security improvements.
