more than code

Hi, I am Greg!

For the past two decades I have worked as manager and a full-stack developer. A prized baker, amateur cook, wannabe cyclist and a whole load more I've finally decided to bring this site back up online.

It has been abandoned for far too long and I have decided it was time to put something up.

Currently I have a blog where I write articles that range from work to lifestyle. I'll soon be adding other little features that showcase a bit of who I am.
