While my contributions to the Open Source community are modest, I'm eager to change that.
I've developed software professionally since 2002, starting as a modern apprentice at a local authority. But my passion for programming goes back even further. My journey began when my Nan introduced me to an Amstrad CPC 464, where I learned to write my name and address. From that moment, I was hooked! Later, I got my hands on an Amiga and discovered Amos and Blitz Basic - sparking a lifelong love for coding. Drawing and moving a box on a screen was magic! But that's enough nostalgia for now.
I have far too many hobbies, including Programming, Blockchain, Gym, 3D Printing, and Music Theory. I also attempt to play the Piano and Guitar.
I primarily work with the Microsoft stack, including C#, MAUI, Razor, Blazor, Azure, MS SQL Server, and Azure DevOps (CI/CD) full-time in the corporate world. I have several personal projects to keep me up-to-date and explore tech I don't get to explore in the day-to-day work, with Gym Directory UK and Knight Tour Challenge being the most recent.
I've also had some experience with PHP, F#, TeamCity, and MySQL.
