Senior software engineer building useful things for the web

Writing code professionally since 2014. I write about the web, developer tools, and whatever else I’ve been figuring out.

Based in the UK. Usually distracted by electronics, bass guitar, physics, running, TTRPGs, and a discomfort with numbers.
