Bristol, United Kingdom
I'm a full-time software engineer and part-time journalist. As an engineer and business analyst, I've worked for many large financial institutions, including NatWest and Zurich Financial Services. My writing has been published on websites from Null Hypothesis to the BBC.
Currently I'm working as a technical architect for a healthcare insurer in Bristol. This year I'm going to expand the writing side of my career, getting published in more places and hopefully breaking into print.
