Interests

Even outside of work, I am a avid programmer and will always be on the lookout for the next project to work on. This has ranged from Minecraft Servers, Discord Chat Bots, Game Development, Cryptocurrencies and much more.

When I'm not programming, I love watching a good movie or TV show, to play some VR or to go for a walk in the beautiful Swansea area.
