about

👋🏻 Hi, I’m Chris.

Nice to meet you! I’m from London, UK – which is where I presently live and work for Citymapper.

• I’m a photographer, and have published a series of zines about phone boxes.

• I code for a living.

• I sometimes build electronics for fun.

• I hold a UK Amateur Radio Operator License, callsign M7NXF.

• I’m the owner of both a beard, and a ponytail.

• You’d ordinarily frequently find me at An Evening of Unnecessary Detail. Because I don’t get enough of unnecessary detail during the day, apparently.

• I once helped (at least, mostly helped) Matt Parker build a computer out of Dominos (you can see me at 3:14)

• I’ve been a contributor to Helen Zaltzman’s podcast The Allusionist, and was briefly in Episode 75 of No Such Thing as a Fish.

• I was one of the founders of the University of Kent Tinkering Society (tinkersoc)

• I’m an advocate of digital rights, privacy and free speech online, and am a member of the Open Rights Group

• My site icon is a modified emoji 1f40b (🐋)

• Whilst I am on twitter, I prefer decentralised social media

• I enjoy a good list (evidently)
