About Me

I'm a self taught full-stack developer from the UK.

I find great enjoyment in materialising ideas into a tangible, useful product. For this reason, web development immediately drew me in. Being able to create something valuable from oftentimes nothing more than an idea and the technologies created by those before me is an amazing thing.

Outside of development, the main thing I enjoy is music. I've been playing piano for 10 years now, and it's a vital part of my life. It provides me value in a similar sense to web development in the fact that I can construct an original song from just me and the instrument.
