Biography
I've had a varied working career which began as an embroiderer and designer for Stirlingshire company Sterling Design in the late 90s. This was followed by display Manager for Scottish furniture company Reid Furniture. In 2000 I returned to university to obtain a masters degree in computer science, after which I spent the next 25 years as a software developer. I'm currently freelancing as a software developer, website designer and white water kayak coach whilst also exploring other exciting opportunities.
