Any hobbies?

Pre kids, I used to be quite into slack lining, and a bit of climbing. People say I stretch more than is typically considered normal. With my escapes to the gym I like to practice the kind of weightlifting you see at the olympics (just with much less weight).

What is an Interesting fact about you?

I once appeared on-screen beside Kiera Knightley, as an extra in the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice.

What’s your favourite kind of Drupal work?

Over the years I’ve found myself as something of a “front-end” specialist. But I also really enjoy consulting work.

Have you been involved in the development of any Drupal modules? Which was your favourite any why?

I’ve contributed over the years with patches and a bit of maintenance to various Drupal projects. However most of my contributions seem to end up being to various front-end related projects. Of these my favourite is probably a plugin I wrote for the static site builder Gatsby. It’s gone on to be used more widely in the Gatsby community, which is probably why it’s my favourite!
