About me - MaxBruges.com

It's nice to meet you

A picture of me, Max Bruges aside It’s me, Max Bruges

…though unless you’re very tenacious with your Googling, we’ve probably met already[1].

I’m an education specialist, with a passion for using technology to transform the way we teach and learn.

I have been Head of English for a few years now, long enough to know that we can always be doing more to experiment and improve. Hopefully, what you find here will help you to do just that.

I built this website largely as a place to practice my coding and to learn new skills (the details of which I will bore you with here on the blog). What started as some shoddily handcrafted HTML is now a slightly slicker static-site. Poke around: try some of the experiments here and flick through some of my lessons here.

If you’d like to chat, you can drop me an email 📬 or find me on LinkedIn.

Special, open-source thanks go to:

  • Team Zola for the best Static Site Generator in the game.
  • HfG’s talented design students building the OpenMoji project, specifically for the gorgeous SVG rendering of Agatha that graces this homepage.
  • unDraw, providing the illustrations you can see on a few of the pages.
