Software Engineer based in the UK. Full stack development, usually on the JVM (Kotlin, Java and Scala). My current role also includes devops, mostly on AWS. I’m a big supporter of open-source. Definitely not a techbro!
TDD, BDD, CUPID and general eXtreme Programming concepts. Not a fan of ‘enterprise agile’ - this is wrong!
Father of two teenagers. Ultra-runner, run coach, yoga fan. I do a lot of DIY, particularly building conservation work using traditional materials and skills.

Another #3GoodThings from my last day in Amsterdam:
- The Dutch cycling infrastructure continues to amaze. Everything is so well designed to make the bike a first class way of getting around. London and the UK could learn a lot.
- Paid a visit to the beautiful Muiderslot Castle.
- The Anne Frank museum was harrowing, but very glad to have experienced this important piece of history.
Three good things all related to my 50th birthday weekend. #3GoodThings
- We went for a family trip to London (and my son only complained a small amount)
- We climed the 331 steps up the Monument
- Had an amazing speedboat trip along the Thames as an experience present
