Father | Husband | Gamer | Imposter | Microsoft MVP

Senior Software Engineer working in all things .NET working at Tinysoft Ltd.

I love to tinker with things be that software related or better still disconnected from any computer.

I've been working as a .NET developer for over 16 years now in a variety of industries including government, retail and manufacturing. But I've been hacking around with computer code since I was old enough to read my Dad's copy of the ZX Spectrum BASIC coders manual. 

I've been speaking about Functional C# at various user groups and conferences around the UK, USA,  Europe and Australia and am particularly interested in seeing just how far we can push C# without breaking it.  

I'm currently working on a book for O'Reilly publications about functional programming with C#.  Expected to appear in bookshops some time in 2023.

When I'm not coding, or running after my two small children, I have been known to enjoy the classic series of Doctor Who, Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, Cryptic Crosswords, and rather more coffee than is probably good for me.
