JavaScript & Front-end Development

Stereotypical Northerner really: Good food (with gravy), a pint and the football (and my other half of course, she'll kill me if she reads this and sees she's not made the cut). I've also found myself picking up a lot more books in the last 12-months, currently making my way through Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series.

Eggs, olives and mash, which I know can be controversial but they're just really, really not my thing. Especially not together.
