Summary
Alan Lansdowne is a seasoned full‑stack technologist and co-founder currently serving as CTO and Web Architect, with over a decade of experience shipping performant, accessibility-focused PWAs and desktop Electron apps. He combines deep front-end expertise (modern JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue3, ESModules, WebWorkers, HTML5/CSS3/SVG2) with server-side PHP8 and Deno, and a long track record of building device‑agnostic, offline‑first systems like the Ashiva CMS and the declarative Danis³h Capsule platform. A multilingual communicator (German, Russian, French) with roots in journalism and digital publishing, he brings rare cross-disciplinary strengths in content strategy, SEO/SMO and media production alongside technical leadership. His career blends entrepreneurial success—from growing attitudeTravel into a globally referenced brand—to recent CTO roles scaling product and engineering for startups in West Yorkshire. Notably, he advocates "code-as-data" and markup-first developer accessibility, driving novel formats (xHAN, URA) and CSS tooling that reflect a principled, standards-centric approach to web architecture.
