About Me
I've been a developer since I graduated in 2006. In that time, there's been plenty of variety. I've worked in scrappy start-ups to big enterprises, built flashy front ends to big-iron backends, monoliths to microservices, and serverless to rack-your-own. I've seen a lot of mistakes, made my fair share, and learned a thing or two along the way.
These days I'm working primarily in Python and Typescript as a principal developer at heat pump optimisation company Homely Energy.
I live in the North West of England with my wife, 2 kids, and a Cocker Spaniel.
