Summary
Si Mills is a multidisciplinary developer and sound designer with 11+ years building audio apps, plugins and web applications from concept to production. He blends front‑end expertise (Node.js, React, Svelte, Ember, Web Audio, WebGL) with deep audio/sound design experience, shipping projects for clients such as the V&A, Wired and UJAM. Comfortable across creative and technical domains, he has delivered low‑latency real‑time touch interfaces, plugin UIs for Pro Tools/Rhodes ecosystems, and full stack web systems integrated with AWS and CI tooling. His work repeatedly focuses on performant, maintainable front‑end architecture—pattern libraries, code splitting and bundle optimisations—while also composing bespoke audio content and synthesis tools. Based in the Greater Brighton area, he runs sjm*create and We Make Sound, combining freelance studio commissions with product and contract engineering. An unexpected strength is his habit of prototyping visual/audio concepts directly in the browser (Canvas/SVG, Tone.js, Three.js), turning experiments into polished client deliverables.
