Four months ago, this was a garden potting shed....
Now it's my dream office and recording studio, and the most peaceful space I've ever worked from.
As a founder, it's crucial that I have space to focus, but as a carer, I can't be far from home. This is the perfect compromise.

🤯 😢 It's 2025, and yet, in the age when AI is making all software and security jobs redundant...

Much work is needed to secure our software experiences for our organizations and end users.

For the second time this year, I find myself impacted by health issues on a trip.
This time, COVID knocked me flat in less than 24 hours and has torn this trip asunder.
I am devastated but also grateful to be able to isolate and focus on recovery. I will be returning to NZ as soon as safe to do so
