Interests
I like to keep busy during my free time, I am a keen cyclist and enjoy challenging myself, for example I cycled from London -> Paris -> London over 4 days in order to raise £2500 for Chums Mental Health UK and in 2018 I completed Coast to Coast (150 Miles in one day). I also enjoy going to the gym and playing squash a few times a week. I also enjoy attending tech meetup events, most commonly PHP South West in Bristol.
When forced indoors, I enjoy cooking, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the web development world.
