More In Depth

I was born and raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Ive grown up with allsorts of technology from computers to mobile devices. My passion for technology comes from being curious about how things work and how it can help improve peoples lives.  During high school I never really took any computer classes, most of the knowledge ive gained is self taught. I wasn’t to enthusiastic about computer classes because most of them only covered the basics, I knew I could gain more value discovering how the technology works myself. Im a huge sports fan, but my favourite sport has to be football – I support Newcastle United.
