I’m a software engineer turned writer. Thirty years in corporate tech — the dot-com bubble, cloud, big data, and now AI — gave me more material than I’ll ever use.
Human Software, my debut novel, came out of frustration with the industry I’d spent my career in, and with the business books that kept describing it without ever telling the truth about what it feels like from the inside.
I write here about tech, work, writing, and the humans caught between all three. Book two is underway.
By day I work as a freelance DevOps and Platform Engineer, usually embedded within a platform or systems team. If you’re interested in working together you can find out more on LinkedIn.
Originally from Kent in the UK, I live with my family near Amsterdam.
