Hi, my name is Michael Byers. I am currently the lead web developer and social media analyst at South Ayrshire Council. I have over 15 years experience in web development and have a diverse skill set allowing me to work in multiple areas of website development. A logical thinker and always willing to try new things, I work hard and always strive to better myself in my field.

I am a passionate responsive web developer that focuses on functionality. You could say I am a full stack developer as I work on the back-end through to the front-end of websites. At the same time I optimise and enhance user journeys using analytics and feedback.
I have been developing Android apps since 2010. My most successful app is Poker Hands with over 900,000 downloads. I currently have 8 live apps. App development is an area I would like to work in and I see my own app development as a way to learn about it.
