About me

Welcome to my infrequently updated corner of the web!

I'm originally from Kenilworth, Warwickshire but I spent the last seven or so years in Nottingham. I've recently moved to St. Albans, where I'm working for Ocado.

I spent the last few years working on my PhD as a member of the Document Engineering Lab at the University of Nottingham. During my research, I was lucky enough to spend a summer working for my sponsor, Adobe Systems, out in California. So if you've used Acrobat 7.0, there's a chance you've been unfortunate enough to run some of my code. My thesis describes a novel markup-language for PDF documents.

I'm a pretty keen mountain biker. Personal favourites have got to be the trips to Morzine in the French/Swiss Alps, the BUSA champs and summer 24-hour races. Check out the NUBike website to find out more about mountain biking at Nottingham Uni.
