Professional web engineer
I'm a digital professional working at the University of Edinburgh, and I manage a portfolio of bespoke websites for individuals and small businesses. I've been building professional websites since 2010, and messing with HTML/CSS for long before then.
Hobbyist photographer
Photography is a hobby that I take seriously enough to spend a fair whack of money on now and then, I'll share some of my favourites photographs on here, along with the story behind them.
Other hobbies and interests
Hobbies include making pizza, Lego, DIY, and some video games (Destiny 2 in particular).
