+In my day job I find novel uses for interactive, immersive and games technology for training and simulation.
+I am passionate about free and open source software, and the importance of developing technologies that serve everyone.
+</p>
 
+<p>
+I tinker for fun and make things when I can, inspired by physics, the universe and boundaries. I am currently most enamoured by optics, orbital mechanics and relativity.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Besides computing, I like caring for my plants, photography, and studying language, culture and philosophy. I take an interest in fashion, makeup and self-presentation, and regularly go to see live music.
