About

If you want to get in touch with me you can email me or find me on GitHub, Twitter, or Flickr.

Science

I went to Cambridge University for a degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in Physics and taking a 1st.

I’m currently working on elements of the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer, still at Cambridge, with the hope of getting a PhD for my trouble out of it.

Computing

I like tinkering with things a lot - partiularly computers. I seem to have done best out of small web trinkets that do one thing very well. Most notably of late, I was responsible for the backend of Old Spice Voicemail You can see other things that I have worked on by checking out the projects page.

Hardware

As well as the developing of software described above, I also hold a love for hardware. I ostensibly have a number of projects on the go, but I always find it harder to find enough time for hardware projects, so they too often fall by the wayside when I do desperately want to finish them. An example of a small project I managed to complete is my arcade stick, and an example of one that has been ongoing a (very) long time is the dalek.

About the Site

Entirely based on a site written by Steve Losh, so much credit to him - I liked the sound of a static website generated by Python after taking a couple of large bandwidth spikes right on the chin, and blogging like a hacker seemed appropriate now that I’ve fallen in love with Git and Dropbox for syncing between work and home.
