About Ieuan Cole

/**
 * Ieuan Cole — full-stack software engineer, Cheltenham.
 *
 * Hard-working engineer with over three years in industry. I build secure,
 * scalable web applications at Element Studio, and have delivered
 * fast, well-built websites for a handful of small businesses.
 *
 * Building doesn't stop when the workday does. In my free time I love
 * creating, crafting and building my own applications, turning ideas
 * into working products and trying out new tools along the way.
 *
 * Right now I'm building my skills in Python and C#. Away from the
 * keyboard, you'll find me hiking, rock climbing or in the gym.
