About me

Hi! I'm a London-based freelance software engineer who has also published books and worked in journalism. Lately I've been working on Android nature apps including the Collins Bird Guide, one of the Play Store's top reference apps. I've also built a variety of Web JS apps. I enjoy working on worthwhile projects and writing sensible, human-friendly code without buzzwords from Silicon Valley (even though as a Californian I'm originally from around there.) Drop me a line if you'd like to network or discuss an interesting app project!
