Principal infrastructure/platform engineer at a boutique tech consultancy. Started as a sysadmin at an ISP, moved into managed hosting, then a major Silicon Valley tech company, and a couple of startups.

Originally from Northern Ireland, but have lived in London for long enough to consider it home.

Interested in infrastructure and complex systems of any sort - transport, energy, international trade, ecosystems, zoology. I'm generally optimistic about tech and its place in our society, but believe that better consumer-/user-/safety-focussed regulation is necessary. My politics might best be described as 'bright green'.
