About
Painting the 41st Millenium, coding in the current.
I'm a software engineer with a career spanning enterprise Java at Hewlett-Packard in Germany, running my own software company, IT management, and most recently full-time freelance web and mobile development.
An independent software developer building iOS and web applications. Current projects include a retail planogram editor, two iOS apps, a macOS markdown notes app, a permanently in development Cat based platform game and editor (try saying that 3 times fast) and BristleForge, a community site for the miniature painting hobby.
When I'm not coding, I'm painting Warhammer miniatures — mostly Chaos, across 40K, the Old World, and Horus Heresy.
