Director, Platform Services (Europe) with the @WordPressVIP team at @Automattic.
I am passionate about the web. There’s no other industry that continues to evolve so drastically. It continually challenges us to be in touch with the cutting edge and to be prepared to re-evaluate best practice.
I specialise in front-end development and love creating slick and intuitive interfaces that provide a fantastic user experience. Much of my experience is working in small teams which require a large amount of versatility. So I also have a good deal of experience with; server-side scripting and databases, conceptualising user experiences and technical solutions, and client-facing in new business and requirements gathering processes.
My primary skills are in HTML5, CSS (SASS, CSS3 features, modular architectures), Javascript (including Angular, GulpJS and jQuery), WordPress and PHP.
Experienced Educational Technologist with a demonstrated history of working in the e-learning industry. Skilled in Moodle, WordPress, Drupal, PHP, Javascript, Multimedia, Editing, and Educational Technology.

Graphic Design Studio and Digital Branding Consultancy specialising in creating unique brand experiences.
Joel’s company makes websites & he’s been in the game for a long old time. He was wrestling with IE3 (yes 3!) and table-based layouts whilst many of the current generation of coders were still on the potty. Whilst this means he is old & decrepit, it does also mean that he has lots of experience which he’s more than willing to share.
Joel has been in permanent roles (American Express, British Airways), has contracted, has freelanced at agencies & has now been working for himself, and now managing a team, for over 13 years.
Joel’s current website is at http://joelhughes.com but that is subject to change as his business is on the move.
He also runs the Port80 web & ‘The Business of Web Design’ conferences in South Wales (http://port80events.co.uk/ &
http://2014.thebusinessofwebdesign.co.uk/).
He is married to Jess, has two children (Lily & Gene) and one cat (Mr Pickles).
