I lead engineering teams and build things of my own.

Currently: Head of Delivery at Zethic Technologies

Off the clock, I’m a learning stoic who enjoys an active lifestyle. I grew up on science fiction and somehow ended up reading more self-help than I expected.

This is where I keep track of the work I do, things I build, ideas I explore, and whatever I'm learning along the way.

LinkedIn Say hello

Latest on my mind.

Thoughts and lessons from work, from building, and from life in between.

Five flights of stairs that restarted my Atomic Habits

I bought Atomic Habits during lockdown in 2021 and didn't finish it until after I'd started going to the gym. Two ideas from it are a big reason why I'm still training more than four years later.
