At Kinsta I am tasked with developing and maintaining the WordPress website. So far there has been lots of work towards modernizing templates and giving non developers more control of the website content, including gradually implementing Gutenberg blocks across the site.

Interests

Travel

I did the digital nomad thing for a couple of years, and hope to go back to being somewhat nomadic in the future

I built and lived in a van while I did a road trip from Canada to Mexico and back again

Cooking

I enjoy cooking (and eating) new things.

I even made my own recipe website

Making & DIY

I founded Dundee MakerSpace, former member of Makespace Madrid, and I've visited a few others on my travels.

In particular I enjoy making small electronics, home automation, laser cutting, screen printing and random low quality artwork

Indieweb

I am a supporter of the Indieweb movement and make a bunch of tools in that space.

Movies & TV

A lot of the usual suspects!
