My Projects

Some of the things I've been working on recently.

Dear Next Visitor

Dear Next Visitor

A website where visitors read a unique message just for them, left by the previous visitor - so long as you leave a message of your own for the next passer by!

CRUDAnything

CRUDAnything

A developer platform where users can create, access and share data via a REST API, but all the data is public.

Hey, I’m Callum

Coding has been my strongest skill for as long as I can remember. I started young, driven by curiosity, and that passion has never faded. What began as a hobby has grown into my primary source of income - and for that, I’m extremely grateful. But lately, something feels off.

Despite being good at what I do, I often feel like I’m just trading time for money, working on projects that lack personal meaning. For a long time, I believed that employment was the natural path for a web developer and that running a business wasn’t for me. But I’ve come to realize something important: if I apply myself, I can create real value in the world, on my own terms, by building things that genuinely inspire me.

That’s what I’m focused on now: building a life where I’m not reliant on a paycheck from an employer. A life where I choose the direction of my work, and get to see the impact of what I create.
