My place to put things

Software developer.

Interested in what makes software successful, what makes a software team work well together, and why people have a curious obsession with putting computers in everything. Find myself arguing against the use of technology worryingly often for a technologist.

This site is also a place I can experiment with new things I want to try out. If you want to get in touch about something I've written here, or have a chat about anything else, drop me a line.
