01Summary
I've spent 8+ years working across IT support, software engineering, technical writing and commercial web delivery. That breadth means I'm comfortable close to systems, close to users, and explaining one to the other.
I'm currently an IT Engineer at Argyll & Bute Council, supporting users, endpoints and Microsoft environments. My software background spans C#, SQL, .NET, APIs, databases, full-stack applications and technical documentation, alongside infrastructure, automation and methodical troubleshooting.
I keep selected client websites running through my freelance studio, NOD Studio, as a separate track alongside product work.

06About
My background combines IT support, software development, infrastructure, data work and technical writing. It means I'm comfortable working close to systems and close to users, solving practical problems and explaining technical ideas clearly.
I'm currently an IT Engineer at Argyll & Bute Council and continue building software, personal projects and selected client websites through NOD Studio.
Outside of engineering I tend to spend time on football, music and whatever side project has caught my attention.
