Mac for work. PC for GAMING!

4. First impressions of the mm&d team?

Down to earth and friendly. Healthy dose of insanity.

FAJITAS or TERIYAKI.

7. Passion(s) outside of work?

Travelling, learning coding languages & foreign languages, odd bit of scuba diving.

I have zero claim to fame, for now.

10. Kareoke Song?

Depending on the amount of alcohol consumed, obviously a Disney banger. (*edit – the phrase ‘Disney banger’ must be a Sunderland term).
