What I'm up to now

What is this?

This is a /now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. It's a snapshot that's intended to give you an idea of what's actually going on in my life, now.

Work

I recently started working at Q-CTRL, based out of their small but growing Oxford office. I'm on the Navigation Deployment team, working on GPS-free magnetic (and gravimetric 👀) navigation.

Training

Getting back into a routine after a few busy months, with a focus on running. Upcoming events: Oxford Town & Gown 10k in May, and Loch Ness Marathon in September.

Reading

I've been enjoying re-immersing myself in the Cosmere and slowly catching up on everything I missed in the last few years.
