About Me
Hi, I'm Alex, I live in Norwich(UK), with my beautiful girlfriend Mez. Put simply I'm a massive Geek. I love all things tech, am a firm believer in an open and borderless internet, and am an open source advocate. Professionaly, I am a Web Developer at Everpress & Brilliant Basics, and co-founder of a Form Analytics company.
In my spare time, I enjoy Cycling, watching films, HackerNews (yes - that's an activity all of it's own), Listening to music, and dabbling in the latest developer frameworks, tools and engines.
