I am a software developer passionate about social and environmental justice. I mostly program in Elm, C#, Python, Typescript and Delphi. I mentor on Exercism, for Code First Girls and You Make It, and maintain the Elm track on Exercism.

I find that books can be an excellent way to learn ideas and concepts, and I wish I had discovered the good ones earlier in my career. It's easier to discover them now that we have virtual communities on the internet, and ratings websites and similar. You can read my book recommendations, and see a full list of books I have read / reviewed on goodreads.

I also find that writing is an excellent way to make sure I have understood something, and to spread knowledge. We should format code on demand, Cost effective Coding Guidelines, Embedding Domain Concepts in Code and Writing Describable Code are hopefully interesting reads, and are applicable to all programming languages. The full list is on LinkedIn.

I have created a few frameworks, CustomerTestsExcel, DocsFromTests and Configuration. I play canoe polo in my spare time, and have a couple of related hobby projects, a website to show league tables based on a google spreadsheet, and one to help orgranise tournaments.
