I'm a freelance and hobbyist programmer (Ruby and Scala), have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London, help run BarCamps. I'm a vegetarian, like soul music, UNIX, am an atheist, like to think about metaphysics and epistemology, am a recovering libertarian who has turned back to being a political lefty.

My personal site is tommorris.org. I'm also on Twitter and put my code up on Github. I have a blog.
