Software Engineer who likes to build things.

This blog is where I share my projects and what I've learned along the way. You'll also find other random posts.

Main areas of interest:

  • Piloting
  • Traveling
  • Exercising
  • Building things for others
  • Learning things!

When I'm not coding, you can find me doing jiu-jitsu, muay thai, cycling, playing sports, flying planes or reading!
