01 — About

Building things that matter.

Software developer with an MSc in Cybersecurity (Distinction) from Northumbria University. By day, I build the web platform for GetOnIt, after nearly three years running its servers, networks and 24/7 support. By night, I build web applications under Scape Software, with seven live products in production. I bridge the gap between ops, security, and shipping real software.
