Area of Interest
I'm passionate about technology, believing in the importance of remaining hands-on, not presenting from an ivory tower but taking part in the design, coding, and delivery. Because of this passion, outside Avanade, I contribute code as a Microsoft MVP, and I'm an ambassador/chief blueprint lead for OpenUK - the organisation for Open Technology in the UK.
