    WHAT I'M INTO

    As you’ll probably notice, I’m a Geek…
    Everything technological excites me, from the simplest app to the smartphone that it runs on, to the server that powers it.

    I hold web technology close to my heart, after all, the internet is as old as I am.

  • MUSIC

    WHAT I LISTEN

    My taste in music is as varied as the accents in Britain.

    My all time favourite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but you’ll often find me listening to anything from classical to hip-hop, to heavy rock.

    WHAT I READ

    I don’t read nearly as much as I’d like to. Since I don’t commute on the train anymore I miss my reading time.

    The last book to really grab my attention was Hell’s Angel by Hunter S. Thompson.

  • IDEAS

    WHAT I LIKE

    Great ideas change the way we think about the world around us. There’s a lot of good ideas coming out if Internet startups these days.

    The next big trends as far as I’m concerned are gesture control and wearable tech.

    Back in November I spent a month without my wallet, relying on mobile and contactless payments.

    During that month there was one app that stood out, changing the way I thought about payments. Birmingham based Droplet, having only been in beta for a month at the time, saved my life.
