I'm an administrator, technical writer, and hobbyist programmer with experience of working across all three sectors.
As a freelancer, I've produced work for companies specializing in app development, B2B, knowledgebase, and pop culture content.
As an administrative professional, I've had the good fortune to hold some really stimulating business support positions for employers such as University of Edinburgh, National Trust for Scotland, and Children's Hearings Scotland.
Finally, as a programmer, I have developed scripts and applications using Lua, Perl, Python, VBA, and more. In 2025, I developed my first basic videogame, called DoNutForgetIt. As of Spring 2026, I've been developing a follow-up videogame using the knowledge gained.
I'm now looking to make a career move into a position which allows me to continue to grow my areas of expertise and skill set, preferably on a long-term basis.
