Ahoy!
I’m Declan Chidlow; I often go by Vale online, and this site is the gateway to all the horrific abominations I concoct.
I’m a front-end developer with a skew to the front of the front-end. My expertise lies in core web technologies – HTML, CSS, and JavaScript – and leveraging them to craft digital experiences that are both functional and visually appealing.
When not bodging together scripts, you may find me cruising around on my unicycle, writing for this website, browsing the crevices of cyberspace, or inadvertently converting an otherwise functional piece of tech into a paperweight.

You can access my stream of consciousness via the firehose. Ways to follow and subscribe to my output are indicated on my syndication page.
My uses page has all the details on my tools and set up, the services page shows the services I host, and my contact page should be self-explanatory.
If you wish to know more about the specifics of this site, you can read The Design of This Site and The Implementation of This Site.
