Now

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'm working at Deliveroo as an iOS developer. You can find more about my job history on my CV here.
• I’ve ran 5 half marathons and a lot of 5k and 10k runs over the last 10 years or so, but I’ve fallen out of the habit since my second child was born. I’m actively working on getting back to that now.
• I’m getting very excited about making a proper website for myself. One day I might learn how to make it look good too.

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.
