Born in Scotland some time ago in the last millennium. Left school with no qualifications but have always worked in a technology related job, usually involving fixing technology of some kind. Completed my degree and most of my qualifications later in life. Now working as an IT Lecturer in a further education College and still enjoy learning myself and fixing things.
Currently working with young adults and trying to promote coding and IoT. I love all things retro and have a vast personal collection of technology and other collectables.
I love gadgets and creating projects using Raspberry Pi’s and other computing devices. My house is full of finished and half-finished projects around IoT and smart hom e technologies.
I’m looking forward to leaving teaching shortly and starting a Senior IT Technician role and getting back to supporting and troubleshooting IT Systems.
