Hi there 👋

I'm Tim Dobson, a self taught developer and lifelong learner who loves to explore new technologies and build products that people us.

About Me

  • 🔭 I’m currently the chair of The Caving Crew a BCA affiliated caving club that I founded. I've recently stepped down as Chair of The Climbing Clan. Through my work with these clubs, I've developed several software products to assist with club operations. Most notably, I've created neoClan, a second-generation membership check-in system.
  • 🌱 I’m currently teaching myself React with the Mantine framework, React Native and Next.js, as well as exploring react-query and advanced git workflows.
  • 👯 I’m keen on opportunities for freelance work and development. If you have an exciting project, I'd love to collaborate!
  • 💬 Ask me about Linux administration, rock climbing and caving.
  • ⚡ Fun fact: I have a wonderful son named James.
