About

Software Development

I started coding in high school when I made adventure games in QBasic. At home, in between bouts of Frontier Elite 2, I knocked up a version of Breakout in Blitz Basic on the Amiga. This lit my passion for software development. Since then I built websites in the 90s, Windows Apps in the 00s and web apps in the 2010s.

Now I specialise in Azure, architecture, and technical leadership. I'm passionate about building technology that makes a positive impact.

Writing

I like to write about technology's implications on society. Back in 2009 I speculated that one day the big tech companies would gather enough data to manipulate us politically, and one commenter remarked that I was giving social media too much credit.
