About Me

Former crewmember of a maritime service, who after leaving ages ago, taught myself to program in Python and code rubbish encryption scripts. I’ll pontificate to any unfortunate soul I capture on the finer points of hydration and a proper diet. I also exercise like a demon, listen to amapiano music, and spend way too much time on the internet looking at only the very best stuff.

“Don’t get it right, just get it written.”
