About

I like to think of ideas and execute them. I continually look to learn and I try not to impose limits on myself.

I’m currently working on Property Wisdom - a site providing key data to help people make the best investments in the UK property market.

Previous I was contracting at a UK investment fund, and before that developing a football simulation game for the App Store. I have also developed a Bitcoin investment application, and worked at a cryptocurrency startup.

Outside of the internet some of my interests include: playing football, cycling, design and reading.
