I'm a Scottish astrophysicist currently living in Minneapolis who has
always enjoyed learning how the world works while tackling new &
exciting problems with enthusiasm.
If you're interested in my career experience, try my "Professional Experience" page.
I am a physicist who enjoys maths but I also make time for more
creative, artistic pursuits, such as drawing and photography. I
don't claim to be good but I've always seen the point to enjoy
it more rather than focus on how good I am at it. At least that
helps me rationalise my skill level after so many years!
One area I am trying to actively trying to break into slightly is game
design. My engine of choice is Godot and I'm trying to learn GDScript.
I have always been passionate about movies, good or bad. I'm also
trying to read not only more books but also a wider variety of
genres. Of course, I also enjoy some gaming every now and then
too.
Other activities I enjoy include DIY projects, playing the
guitar (badly), and bouldering.
