Activities
As a hobby, I’ve developed a web application to monitor my spending on fuel for the car; it now has 11 years of data, started as an Excel spreadsheet and migrated into a MySQL db and an application built with PHP and Javascript; I’m planning to attempt to incorporate the UK Government Fuel Finder API into the project. I’m also attempting to learn how to create an Android App. Away from work, I’m a big sports fan; watching football, cricket and golf. I enjoy spending time with my two children. I’ve discovered a passion for cooking and enjoy films, stand up comedy and political dramas
