Now

Updated: Wednesday, 3 May 2023

This is a now page, which I'll update to give you an overview of what I'm doing now. Inspired by Derek Sivers!

Interests

Currently, my biggest interest is film photography. I shoot 35mm film with a Pentax MX, just like your dad used to. My favourite film stocks are currently Ilford HP5 Plus (a black and white staple!) and Kodak Gold 200.

I'm also one half of Cutie Club, a project between my partner and I, where we do small-scale electronic engineering, PCB design, and other open source hardware projects.

I've been detaching myself from technology in my spare time (partly why I'm specifically an analogue photographer) and I've found my mental health improved. Touch some grass today.

Reading

In no particular order, the last few books I've read:

• A Brief History of Time, by the late Stephen Hawking
• The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman
• The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye
• Uncomfortable Labels by Laura Kate Dale
• Trans Britain by Christine Burns

Work

I'm a DevOps Engineer at https://transformuk.com/. That means I make the stuff that websites, applications, and other software runs on in ~the cloud~, and how it gets built and deployed.
