Background

I grew up in West Yorkshire and then went to Warwick University to study Discrete Mathematics. After university, I moved to Oxford, where I have lived for the last decade. Since 2013, I've worked as a Java software developer and I started freelance writing in 2019. On the personal side, I am an avid aerial hoop amateur and I recently carried a child as an altruistic surrogate. My pronouns are they/them.
