I'm a Software Engineer from Scotland, currently working at FindMyPast. I graduated in Computer Science from the University of Dundee in 2019.
When I'm not working I am drinking coffee or thinking about coffee. I enjoy experiencing the world through different people by reading. I also fulfil the cliche of being a Software Engineer by a lot of time working on side projects and following the industry (mostly on twitter).
I blog (sporadically) about things I find interesting, or to show off a something I've made.
