About
Music
Drums, Drones, Vocals and Chants in Gong Polisher, a 2 piece Occult Stoner Doom Metal band based in London/Manchester. We craft songs about Powerful Witches, Gender Fluid Wizards and Ancient Technology used to uncover stories of our past.
Former lead singer/synth player in THETA, drummer/vocalist in House of Wolvxs and before that drummer/vocalist in We Signal Fire, who gigged all across Manchester and the country.
I’m primarily a drummer, but also sing, play guitar and bass and am experienced in music production, with a BA in Music Technology. I’ve played across many genres, including Alt-Rock, Doom and even playing Electronic Drums in a dream-pop band.
Software Engineering
I’ve been a Software Engineer for over 15 years. I started building small websites and e-commerce applications, went on to lead software teams at a large e-commerce retailer and currently work in fin-tech.
I’ve authored complex frontend journeys in React with state management and oauth authentication, designed micro-service architectures for applications such as communication delivery and store credit and lead teams to success across numerous projects, both as a tech and people lead.
There is more detail on my professional history on my LinkedIn profile.

I shot and edited the music video for my band’s song Macroscopic X-ray Powder Diffraction Scanner.
I run a (currently very) small record label, if you’re a Doom or Doom adjacent band and want to submit, head over to sexymonolithrecords.com and get in touch.
I cycle and run as much as I can, I like a good beer and I drink a lot of coffee. I’m also working on a few side projects such as f1rul.es and TeamPomodoro.
