“A lot.” — pretty much the job description.
Always up for solving hard problems, whether it's in code, on two wheels, four legs, or under a barbell.
About & Work
I'm a software engineer based in Yorkshire, with a professional life that can be summed up as "busy & varied".
I spend my days building, maintaining, and improving software systems, and my off-time with either motorcycles, horses or barbells.
If you’re looking for someone who can ship code, stay calm when things go sideways, and still have enough energy left to ride out — literally — I’m probably your person.
QUICK FACTS
- 🧠 Strong background in software engineering.
- 🏍️ Passionate biker — happy in the codebase and on the road.
- 🐎 Equestrian life included — not just horsepower, actual horses.
- 🏋️ Weightlifter — because healthy body = healthy mind.

Visit site →What I'm Into
A mix of clean code, noisy engines, big animals, and heavy lifts.
Software Engineering
Building and improving systems with a focus on reliability, clarity, and ideally not waking up to WhatsApp messages at 3am.
Motorcycling
Life on two wheels: twisty roads, shiny bikes and drinking tea at various cafes.
Equestrian
Working with horses — timing, patience, and balance. Turns out those help in software projects too.
Weightlifting
Progressive overload in the gym and in skills — trying to make sure the deadlift goes up and bug count goes down.
