About me

I wrote my first lines of code back in 2011 in Lua using modding tools available for Garry's Mod and Minecraft . Being given the reigns to create whatever I could imagine got me hooked on programming.

Fast forward to today, and I'm passionate about delivering high quality, bespoke experiences for users by empowering the team around me and driving technical evolution. I architect and lead the agile development of complex business systems at a British software consultancy.

When I'm not clicking away at my desk, I enjoy long walks, a cracking bit of cheese, videogames, Sci-Fis, tabletop RPGs, surreal comedies, and listening to music. Actually, I listen to a lot of music at my desk too.
