About

Hi there, I'm a Northern Ireland-born, Tokyo-based iOS developer. After working for 13 years in London, UK, mostly as a contractor for various companies of all sizes, I relocated to Japan to work at Cookpad Inc.

I'm interested in working on mid and large-scale projects focusing on architecture design, UI/animation and polish and implementing and maintaining good coding standards and work practices.

I've been coding in iOS since iOS 4 and after a short stint in the pre-ARC MRC days, I'm now enjoying leaving a much longer Objective-C stint behind me working in Swift.

You can find out more about my experience on my LinkedIn profile. You can also view some of my code on my Github account.

I’m also passionate about product development. You can read a little about my thoughts on improving cross-department efficiency in this blogpost.

Outside of work, I’m also writing a blog in Japanese for language practice.
