Welcome to Web Garden!
My name is David Conlisk and I am a freelance mobile app developer based in Glasgow, Scotland.
I have over 20 years of industry experience building websites and mobile apps for a variety of clients. I thrive in the fast-pasted agency environment, working with agile methodologies to tight deadlines.
Current technologies
-
Xamarin Forms. For the past number of years I have been using Xamarin Forms full-time for my clients. At the moment I am helping to create cross-platform apps for the medical industry with my client Clevermed Limited in Edinburgh.
-
C# and .NET - I am comfortable working on API design, implementation and integration. Anywhere you can use C#.
-
Flutter - I have recently been getting into Google Flutter which I really enjoy. I’ve released my first app using Flutter, the Bristol Stool Chart. It is completely free to use and fully open source. View the source code on github
-
Voice - I love building voice skills and I have experience building an award winning voice skill for Alexa and Google Home for a well known TV show. I also have a couple of skills active for Alexa, Daybreak Yoga and Tea Guide.

Personal projects
This was originally my first native iOS app built back in 2011 as a prototype for future medical app development. When it stopped working in 2015 due to an iOS update, I started to get emails from frustrated users, and I realised that a lot of people find it useful in managing their medical conditions. I then redeveloped it as a cross-platform (iOS and Android) app using Xamarin Forms and Grialkit. I have rebuilt the app once again in 2020 using Google Flutter. It has always been free, and now it is also 100% open source and available to view on github.
I’ve recently moved this website and the Bristol Stool Chart site from a creaky old Umbraco 4 instance to GitHub Pages. Using markdown with Jekyll and pre-built themes is just so easy! It’s free for one organisation site along with one site per repository. I highly recommend it.
