ABOUT ME

I’m 36 years old and originally from the coastal town of Formby, north of Liverpool. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had an interest in computing and tech, but it wasn’t until university that I fell in love with creating slick UI and websites. Since then, I have worked full-time as a developer for a fintech company, as well as for a digital marketing agency and a creative studio. In my spare time, you can usually find me outside running, inside gaming, at a racecourse, or sitting back with a fine selection of cheese. I have an eclectic taste in cinema and music and literally listen to everything from hip-hop to ska to classical. I’m also a big comedy fan and sometimes can’t help myself quoting from Alan Partridge, The Office, People Just Do Nothing, and This Country.
