I was waiting in line at a local TED conference. Each attendee got handed an identical little Lego brick. Someone asked from the crowd, "What do we do with these bricks? They're all the same!"

"We'll build something different!" I replied.

I met the screwdriver before I ever met the hammer. I dismantled every toy I got my hands on, and rebuilt the pieces into something better.

Today, my "toys" are data.

As a software polyglot, I automate the boring stuff so you can focus on the interesting stuff. Those odd processes will tick like a clock.

When I'm not optimising things, you'll find me exploring precision agriculture, designing for 3D printing, racing drones, snapping photos, tinkering with electronics or chasing blue notes on my guitar.

I lean towards a "yes, if" stance. Think about it.
