Home
I'm CTO at Giant, an agency which makes the world better. I have spent a lot of my career building software teams, creating resiliant systems, and managing internet infrastructure.
My professional interests lie in digital giving; I help charities, NGOs and other ethically-positive organisations promote themselves online, and raise funds through digital. Outside of my work, I'm interested in UNIX, open source, and digital history.
This website doesn't represent the views of Giant, but there's probably a lot of overlap.
I have profiles on GitHub and LinkedIn.
