About me
Software Developer @ThoughtWorks
Passionate about hardware, Internet of Things and creative coding
Some believe that "Creativity has the potential to be revolutionised with technology", or view the field of Creative Technology as helping to "disrupt" the way people today interact with computers, and usher in a more integrated, immersive experience.
Basically...
