About

Originally from Birmingham, I studied at Coventry University, becoming a software engineer then an avid (thru-)hiker and a - part-time - amateur radio operator going by the callsigns M7ETJ, 2E0IUY and M0KXG.

I’m currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Couchbase leading a team working on their DBaaS offering with a primary focus on the Backup/Restore functionality.

I enjoy challenge (thru-)hiking, having done most of the notable three peaks challenges and completing a walk from Land’s End to John o’ Groats in 2025; I’m currently working through the Wainwrights with an eye on the PCT in 2026.

In 2023 I found the Amateur Radio Hobby through SOTA in which you setup HAM radio stations on hills around the UK; collecting points via contacts with other operators.
