I'm a software engineer passionate about open source, open data, and building better digital public services.
With a background in public sector software engineering, I've spent my career building platforms, applications, and data-driven services that help organisations deliver better outcomes for the people they serve.
I'm currently a Member of Technical Staff at Register Dynamics, working on technology and data-driven solutions for the public sector.
I'm also the co-founder and technical lead of Open Data Scotland, a volunteer-led open source project helping people discover and understand Scottish open data.
