Whenever I have spare time, I enjoy cycling and running to keep fit and unwind after work. Also keen on photography, I enjoy taking photos of my travels whether close to home or overseas.

I’ve read some amazing books which have been an inspiration to me during my career. These are a few of my favourite:

One of the things that I like most about the industry in which I work is how people share what they do. They provide insight into how and why they designed a product or website. They create tools to improve our workflow, most of which are free to use. And they push the boundaries, whilst setting the standards for us to follow. It is exciting to be apart of it.

I’ve credited some of those who have helped and motivated me over the years in my website’s humans.txt file.
