My Story

I wrote my first computer program in 2010 and, ever since, my passion for developing great software has only increased. I studied computer science at school and university -- being top of the class in nearly all years -- and I am now working as a part-time, freelance, full-stack developer to support my semi-professional competitive archery career. When I'm not working, playing with new gadgets, or training at the range and gym, you can probably find me playing my Scottish smallpipes, strumming on my guitars or hiking halfway up a mountain with my partner.
