About

Living and working in the Isle of Man, a lovely island nestled in the Irish Sea between Ireland and the UK.

I principally work in the Microsoft stack, particularly the .NET Framework, having worked in Dynamics 365, Power Platform, SharePoint, WCF, Silverlight, WPF, SQL Server, ASP.NET Web Forms, Web Pages, MVC and Web API. Other than Microsoft, I have worked in MySQL, FastAI and PayPal.

Outside of work, I’m a Scout Leader, geeky-type person with interest in Manx Gaelic, Tolkien, film and trains.
