I like computers (most of the time) and write long-form deep dives about them (sometimes)
I'm a software engineer living in Portishead, UK. I like writing things about software and computers. You might find them interesting.
During the day, I work as a Senior Research Software Engineer at STFC Hartree Centre, where I get to work with lots of very clever people from loads of different domains like shipping, bioinformatics, biothreat monitoring, cultural heritage, and more.
