Connor Dowson

About me

A senior front end web developer currently working at Shelter and living in Bristol. I graduated from the University of Gloucestershire in 2019 with a degree in Computing.

I enjoy creating websites as a way to combine technical and creative skills - any projects shown here are either university work, or have been completed in my free time.

In my free time I enjoy listening to music 🎵 (check out my record collection), watching football (I'm a Bristol City season ticket holder) ⚽, and drinking cider 🍻.

Picturesque pints

A small blog to post any pints I drink with a nice bit of scenery when I'm travelling. On each post you can see the local price paid, and the UK price converted using an exchange rate API. Also uses Mapbox to show the location on a map.
