Hello! I'm Chris, a 30-something software developer from the UK. That's me over in the picture.

As a software developer, my $dayjob generally involves Android app development, but I also have an excessive collection of side projects. I'm interested in privacy and security, occasionally dabble in reverse engineering, and have flirted with making video games in the past. Outside of programming, I like video games, reading, puzzle hunts, DIY, board games, escape rooms, and tinkering with electronics. Some of my favourites and/or current picks include:

Books

  • Snow Crash
  • Dune
  • A Memory Called Empire

Programming

  • Go
  • Kotlin
  • Android

Video games

  • Final Fantasy XIV
  • Factorio

Board games

  • Cartographers
  • Obsession
  • Terraforming Mars
  • Iberia
  • Fluxx

This website houses my blog and some other random bits and bobs.
