Hello! Where to begin? I'm a former #historian who got a PhD in 2019, studying the history of the anti-apartheid movement in the United States. In 2020, I completely switched gears and became a software engineer, but still moonlight as a freelance #writer. I write too much about #food. My taste in #music is all over the map, I'm always looking for new projects and work, and I spend too much time playing #videogames.
Digital Curator, British Library
