I like to make things. Mostly silly things that have questionable purpose, on rare occasions they end up being practical - but it's always fun.
By day I work in digital solutions, sitting between the business side and the technical side and trying to help the two understand each other. By night (and weekend, like a nerdy superhero) I make things - sometimes with AI, sometimes 3D printing, sometimes with my actual hands - small applications, excessive home automation, the often incredibly-over-engineered experiment. I'm not a software engineer, I don't code all that well - I just like to create, explore, and experiment. I understand people, business and tech well enough to take an idea from "wouldn't it be cool if" to something real... Which doesn't always mean it should be real - but hey, this is the world we live in eh? I learn best by just committing to the idea, making mistakes, and seeing what happens.
Have a poke around if you're like me (or just interested).

the day job
The day job: I've been at Subsea7 for about 12 years, from graduate to leading digital solutions. Most of what I do is spotting broken or clunky processes and building better ones, and translating between the people who need something and the people (or agents) who build it.
