HI, I’M ALAN
A curious mind.
A varied life.
I build applications, improve workflows and turn data into useful insights, with a growing focus on AI and automation. Away from the screen, you will often find me exploring with a camera.
HELLO & WELCOME
A little about me
Curious about how things work—and what lies beyond the familiar.
I’m based in Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England. I enjoy building useful things with technology, exploring new places and seeing the world through a camera. This is where those interests meet, and where I share a little of what I’m making and discovering.

The Buddha, the Godhead, resides as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha – which is to demean oneself.
