My primary skill in the tech world is knowing enough about a lot to fix the toughest problems with an ability to dive into detail where needed. My main love on the tech side is building high performance data-centric applications or using data to drive transformational growth. Even more than this I am passionate about making an environment so that people in my team can build brilliant systems, be that through direction, mentoring or simply giving space to thrive.

With a couple of kids there is limited time in my life for other activities but when not taxiing them around or kicking a ball about I will be found on a project around the home. I might be found putting up a fence or building a wall, perhaps changing a bathroom or adding a new socket. When all of the jobs are done I enjoy the great outdoors, woodwork and brewing beer. Brewing is heavily process driven and woodwork is more like an agile project with clear goals but short sprints with detailed, refined objectives. I do a fair amount of hacking about on personal project. Rapidly building almost production ready applications in a matter of days Speckit is keeping me busy this week.
