web developer

By day I write websites for Numiko where we endeavour to work for clients inspiring social good; built mostly using the PHP stack.

aspiring game developer

By night I build games in Unity and C# and then bin them 4 - 6 weeks later due to the ideas becoming either unplayable or ludicrously complex.

published photographer

I shoot a Nikon D600 and love to take time out to take photos, but it really is just a hobby. Although one of my viking shots has been used in a book ;-)
