Find out a bit about who I am and what I enjoy doing
My name is Paul Seal, I’m a .NET Umbraco Developer from Derby, England. I’m an Umbraco Tech Lead at ClerksWell, an Umbraco Platinum Partner, where I help build great websites and mentor developers at all stages of their careers.
I’ve been contributing to the Umbraco community for 12+ years: building packages, running and attending meetups, speaking at conferences, mentoring developers, and blogging everything I learn in an effort to share knowledge with others so we can all level up together.
Outside of code: I’m a Dad, a Super Mario Switch co-op enthusiast, an Oasis fan, a podcast listener, and someone who takes far too many photos of London.
