He combines hands-on expertise in React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js and modern testing/CI practices with deep theming and CMS/LMS experience (WordPress, Moodle, Umbraco) and a designer’s command of Adobe Creative Suite. Greg has led cross-government and international projects—building a Next.js GOV.UK form framework, a Moodle-based VLE deployed across Nord Anglia schools, and prototypes for Bloomberg Philanthropies—often travelling to train stakeholders and embed solutions. He champions WCAG accessibility and pragmatic UX, creating reusable design systems and front-end libraries that scale across organisations.
