🖖 Hello and welcome. I'm a tech lead/enthusiast based in Wales, UK. My main technical interests are indie and open-source projects, web technologies, serverless/Jamstack, and the slow web.
I'm interested in 🏋️♂️ fitness, I love to 🗺 travel and explore new places, and I'm a 🐶 proud dog dad!
💡 Since 2016 I have been Chief Technology Officer at enterprise SaaS company Simply Do Ideas . Before this I was a software engineer at Chaser .
📦 I build and maintain a number of projects - both open-source and commercial. I am a co-founder of Trialflare .
🎓 I completed my PhD at Cardiff University 's School of Computer Science & Informatics in 2015.
🤓 I worked on the IBM-led UK MoD and US Army Research Labs coalition ITA project as a postdoctoral research associate.
👨🏫 I lectured the Advanced Computer Science MSc module Web & Social Computing and the Computer Science BSc module Human-Computer Interaction .
