I’m currently the Head of Software Development at NexBotix, a UK-based Software House on a mission to make automation technology accessible, affordable and easy to implement for businesses of any size.
I also create Software Engineering content on my blog and on my YouTube channel, where you can find quality, educational content that aims to make difficult technical concepts accessible to a wider audience.
