Hobbies

Skiing

When I can. I'm a bit of a ski bum, I'll stay off mountain in a tent so I can afford more time on the slopes. Downhill, a bit of off-piste. Ask me about my latest injury.

Gaming

Computers not casinos. Mostly real time strategy like StarCraft and Rise of Nations. Lately I've gotten into Red Dead Redemption 2 and have been playing the early access of Satisfactory. Just for fun though, you won't find me in any tournaments any time soon.

Arduino

Tinkering with hardware controllers is a bit of fun. It can be useful too. Right now I'm building a little display that will help me remember to put the bins out. It'll even let me know if its the night I need to put out the recycling or green waste. I started with this hobby before I trained as a software engineer. So I knew a bit of C++ before going pro. Right now I'm training AI how to help others program Arduino and ESP controllers too.

Gardening

When I have the time, and a garden. Renting isn't always compatible with our hobbies.

Brewing

I make a mean hazy IPA, I am working on a tropical pale ale and have plans for an acorn beer this autumn.

Hiking

I have hiked the Kumano Kodō through the Kii Peninsula in Japan, the Overland Track in Tasmania, and a lot of other trails around Victoria and New South Wales.

Surfing

I used to surf, badly.
I have a short board to sell if anyone's interested.
