About
I’m Todd, a 26 year old front-end engineer from England, UK. I run Ultimate Angular (which just won “Best Angular product for Education” award!), teaching developers and teams how to become Angular experts through online courses.
Ultimate Angular focuses on the Angular 1.x and Angular 2 ecosystem, to get you from zero to hero in a few lunch breaks. I’m also a Developer Expert at Google, conference speaker and open source lover.
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world speaking and teaching Angular and JavaScript. I’ve taught workshops for Google, Virgin Media, Salesforce, General Assembly employees and many more.
Co-created Conditionizr (.NET Magazine’s Open Source Project of the Year finalist), partnered with Intel and Rolling Stone to bring an HTML5 experience to life. Many other brands have recognised and used/shared my ideas/code: Rolling Stone, Intel, Adobe, NASA, HTML5 Hub, AppendTo, Google, Esquire, Microsoft/MSDN, Wired, Huffington Post, KitKat, Smashing Magazine, Net Magazine, TechPro.
