What do I do?

I build digital products and services as a vehicle for organisational change.

I help organisations build diverse & inclusive, self-organising, multidisciplinary teams.

I teach test-driven development, react.js/redux and javascript workshops.

I write clean, habitable code and refactor it mercilessly.
