Hello, I'm James 👋

I'm a software developer working at IBM, and living in Southampton, UK.

About

I currently am working as a fullstack JavaScript developer on the IBM Blockchain Platform. Sometimes I use Docker, Kubernetes and Golang.

Outside of work I spend my time creating content for my blog where I discuss other projects I'm working on, interesting problems I've had to solve and create tutorials to educate and help others use various technologies for the first time or in a more efficient manner.
