I write about the gap between theory and reality.

I grew up in a working-class family above a corner shop in Bradford, a city in West Yorkshire, England. I was educated in computer science and philosophy beneath the dreaming spires of Oxford. My path then led me into software engineering, with a view from inside the engine room.

This background has given me a kind of permanent parallax view. I am interested in the elegant, powerful stories we tell ourselves – in seminar rooms, in boardrooms, and in lines of code – and how they hold up against the messy, contradictory, and often brutal texture of lived experience.

This blog is my attempt to bridge those worlds. It is a space to explore the human consequences of technology, the politics of class, and the difficult, necessary work of forging judgment in an age of frictionless answers.
