About

I'm a software engineer based near London, United Kingdom. I like solving problems with code.

Over the years I've worked on web and mobile projects for many well known brands such as Virgin, Argos, Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, Experian and Miniclip.
In 2010 I started working in the Google Go language and wrote the GoMySQL client library. It was one of the top Go libraries for a long time prior to the release of the Go database package.
Between 1999 and 2004 I attended university where I learned some old programming languages like C and Smalltalk. I was more interested in programming for the web so I taught myself ASP, PHP and how to use MySQL. I started building dynamic websites for small companies to help fund my social life.
As a teenager during the 1990's I discovered the internet and ran up huge phone bills with my 28.8K modem. I discovered HTML and the wonders of Comic Sans.
As a child during the 1980's I discovered BASIC and wrote some awesome games using custom 8 bit ASCII characters on a BBC B. Unfortunately my parents threw it out.
