About Me
Born and still living in Somerset, England, I'm a father of two and a software engineer who loves music, likes movies and enjoys reading when I find the right book.
I had started writing a 10 minute-epic tell-all About Me which delved into the darkest depths of my soul, but as I replace that with this placeholding version, I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to be that open just yet. For now I can convince myself that this page just needs to be an "MVP" to get things up and running... That is what you say when you want to half-arse something.
Still.... the timeline survived:
