About me

I’m the Content Lead at the CoderDojo Foundation, a data geek and general tinkerer with code. I love well written words, elegant tools and proper tea.

I believe in the power of computers and code literacy to make the world a better place: The more people understand what computers can do for them, they more they can free up their time to do the things computers can’t do for them.

In my spare time I'm a board gamer, reader and podcast listener. I own too much stationary and back too many Kickstarter projects. Some of them are also stationary.
