About

I grew up in a fishing village in the north of Scotland. I learned to be steady on my feet running over seaweed covered rocks. We moved to a farm. I learned to climb trees. Then I grew up and moved to the big city, and climbed on slimy rooftops and up gutters. Then I became civilized, and went to university.

While studying for a Physics MSc. I worked for three years in a molecular biophysics laboratory developing microscopy techniques for studying DNA-protein interactions, including hardware and software engineering and a little bit of wetlab work. Then I went to India and rented a small hut on the beach in Mangalore and taught myself Python, then spent 5 years in startups and 2 years in JPMC, refining and expanding my talents.

I was civilized by artists in Leipzig, they took me in and told me how to survive in the 21st century. I followed them to Vienna, Lebanon, Prague, and now I find them again in Glasgow. Whenever my passion for technology runs the risk of making me hard and cold they melt my heart again.
