Outside of tech, I'm an American living in the United Kingdom. I’m the father of three (mostly) lovely boys.
When it comes to tech, I'm a Leicester based web developer and I’ve been building software since 1996. I've worked for companies like IBM, Boeing, Federal-Mogul, 3M and BSS. I enjoy working with tech like C#, Java, Javascript/Typescript, React/React Native, Angular, NodeJS and Python. I also spend a fair bit of my time at work (and even more after hours) helping newer folks grow as developers.
I'm the technical lead for a software development consultancy based in the
heart of Leicestershire called Computer Conquest. If you're interested in
learning more about what we do or, even better, thinking about building some
software or already have some you need some help with,
visit our website! 
I also volunteer quite a bit in my local community; gardening, picking litter and have even adopted the town train station!
When I'm not working, podcasting, writing, volunteering or just generally being "dad", I enjoy running, cycling, hiking and I love to take photos. I tend to take
landscape and floral macro shots. If you're interested pop down to the bottom to
see some!
I host a, mostly, non-technical podcast for software developers where I chat with Kel Piffner about a wide variety of topics ranging from tips on planning software projects to getting that elusive first software development job!
We're on a bit of a hiatus right now, but there's a bunch of episodes to listen to until we get back to it!

I help businesses through the software development process, from start to finish. Everything from initial discussions to help them understand what they can achieve to selecting technology, building infrastructure and managing the project and team to ensure it’s completed successfully.
Here are just a few projects I thought were pretty special!
I acted as CTO for a fashion startup focused on building the future of fashion trend analysis!
I helped build an event planner for a really great charity that helps young women meet and work with mentors.
I developed one of the biggest embeddable web chats on the internet. It ran for over 20 years and had millions of users!
I delivered a full blown business social network focused on showing the real value of your connections.
I think it’s really important to have hobbies outside your day job! The one
I enjoy most just happens to be photography. If you’d like to see more,
