Bio

• I’m proudly Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 although these days I live in the North-East of England, having spent almost a decade in London. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne with my wife and two children.
• I work at CGI (formerly BJSS) as an iOS developer. You can find more about my job history on my CV here.
• I love running. I’ve ran 5 half marathons and a lot of 5k and 10k runs over the last 10 years or so. And I created an app to set my running goals, it's called Running Track.
• I’ve been an avid reader all my life, and recently started writing fiction, after collecting ideas for years. You can read some short stories here.

Projects

What is this anyway?

A /now page is like a bio, but not so much the kind of thing you’d write on the cover of a book and more what you’d tell a friend you haven’t seen in a while.
