I am currently taking a bit of time off to help raise my lovely little boy. He's keeping me quite busy, but I'm managing to find some spare time to do some freelance work, and some personal projects.
I learnt to code during lockdown, though my background is quite different. As a child I wanted to be a tennis player. I competed at many tournaments, becoming one of the best players in the country, and I still play at a semi-professional level. At university I studied classical music, and currently play in a number of renowned orchestras and bands.
I have thoroughly enjoyed learning to code and bring to it the same level of enthusiasm and pursuit of learning that I fostered in my previous aspirations. Now a new journey has begun, and I cannot wait to see where it will take me.

A small software company with some great products in engineering/insurance and retail , specialising in VB.NET, C#, and Flutter.
Tennis coaching has taught me many things. Teaching is the opposite of learning; thus, by becoming a better teacher, you are also becoming a better learner. Through this experience, I have fostered the qualities of humility, discipline, creativity, patience, and humour.
