Mentorship

I am really passionate about mentorship, I’ve been part of a few schemes in my time. Originally I mentored on Revive, which is sadly no longer active. I have often given advice to engineers early in their journey, looking to start their own business or join an early stage startup.

I now mentor on Zero Gravity. I offer career advice to aspiring software engineers and university advice to aspiring Computer Scientists.

Everyone should have a mentor, I’ve been fortunate to have a few great ones over the years.

Misc

Every year I compete with a group of university friends in Google Hashcode, no winning attempts quite yet!
