Hi, I’m Roy 👋
I’m a self-taught full-stack web developer based in Watford, where I live with my wife Emily and our four boys — Jacob, Dexter, Teddy, and Ronnie.
My journey into web development
I’ve always been fascinated by technology, but in late 2020, I decided to turn that curiosity into a career. Since then, I’ve been committed to learning and building every day — and I still have the same excitement for web development that I did on day one.
Over the years, I’ve developed a wide range of web applications — both for personal growth and for clients — that have sharpened my skills across the full development stack. I’m confident working with everything from front-end design and responsive UI/UX, to back-end architecture, APIs, and databases.
What I do
Through my freelance business, Roy Sheppard Digital, I’ve helped local businesses establish their online presence with everything from simple marketing sites to complex full-stack web applications. My projects often involve: custom CMS integration, user authentication and admin dashboards, connecting to third-party APIs, optimising for SEO and performance, ensuring accessibility and responsive design.
Whether it’s building something from scratch or improving an existing product, I enjoy solving problems and creating intuitive, useful digital experiences.
