Work

I am working at LMAX as a senior developer. I am leading the team building a Perpetual Futures exchange in the cloud.

Life

I spend a lot of weekends with my partner visiting National Trust properties.

I’m getting into bird watching. My photography has moved away from sports and into wildlife. Find my photography on instagram.

I’m also setting up this blog, and learning to self host with kubernetes.
