Blurb

I write code and drink coffee.
I'm a Lead Software Engineer based in Sunderland with over 15 years of experience building software across .NET, C#, and web technologies. I am also a husband, a dad to three kids, and a firm believer that good code requires good coffee. When I’m not writing/breaking/fixing code, you might find me on the pitch for a weekly 5-a-side match, out in the garage working on cars/hiding from my parental responsibilities, or staying up too late enjoying a solid gaming session. I’m a lifelong Sunderland AFC supporter, an avid rock and metal fan, and someone who always appreciates a decent beer. Whether I’m solving complex technical problems at work or surviving day-to-day family life, I like keeping active, grounded, and straightforward.
