I’m Myke. I’m a Designer & Developer from the UK, and the Founder of @AyupCreative.

I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember, and started writing rudimentary programs in Visual Basic in the form of macros from the moment I learned that it was something that you as a user could do.

Once I’d gotten my first computer, a run-of-the-mill Windows 95 machine - upgraded to Windows XP - I threw myself into the deep end with C# and C++... still very much a tinkerer.

Since then I’ve primarily moved into the design and development of web applications and technologies. Now, I regularly build on platforms like Laravel, WordPress, and NextJS.

Over the years I’ve gotten to work on some really exciting projects - including gorgeous websites for cool products; custom WordPress plugins; CMS, ERP, and CRM systems; and extremely complex API and deeply integrated systems forming part of critical business infrastructure.

More recently, I’ve gotten the - what feels like - extraordinary opportunity to begin my journey as a founder. Ayup Creative founded in my home county of Yorkshire, is a friendly, down-to-earth digital agency that specialises in the technologies and services I used to deliver to clients of past employers - build on the experience and insights I gained for over a decade.
