Where I am
London. Croydon, to be exact.
What I'm working on
At work, an internal merchandising app at M&S.
On the side I've started making a site called Croydon Chicken Mile just for a laugh — to celebrate the best chicken shops in the country. There's a serious amount of talent out there and someone has to document it. Currently expanding it to Croydon Tourist Board.
Also have created my first ever API - The Pub DB. It still needs a lot of work but it's a start. The idea is to create a database of pubs in the UK.
What I'm learning
Kind of obsessed with Claude Code at the moment and trying to actually integrate myself into the AI ecosystem rather than just messing about with it. Also still slowly chugging away at Spanish.
What I'm reading
Now reading the second volume of the official Margaret Thatcher biography by Charles Moore .
What's next
I've booked two holidays - one is a week off, and gosh I need a week off after all the heatwaves, to Kotor in Montenegro (country 35) then getting the ferry to Dubrovnik. The next is a long weekend in Florence. Can I fit a final new country in?
This is a /now page. If you have one too, I'd love to know.
