My journey into tech began with a childhood fascination. After getting my hands on a Dragon 32 computer, I quickly fell in love with coding. So much that it beat out any interest in kicking a ball around outside.
As I grew up, that geeky passion stuck with me. At school I spent countless hours talking with friends about the latest video games and ways to speed up our computers.
Taking the long way round
That interest led to a varied career in IT, from basic support to department management. But the love for coding never faded.
In 2018, I approached my boss about diving into software development. He agreed, gave me my first project, and I haven't looked back since.
Still curious
These days I enjoy building full-stack apps, with a particular focus on React and TypeScript. When I'm not coding, I enjoy gaming, watching movies, and learning new things.
That childhood curiosity is still a pretty good reason to sit down at a keyboard.
