I studied Maths, French and German at school. After an unsuccessful attempt to study Maths and Philosophy at York University, I took some time out to learn how to keep goats and grow vegetables. I got involved in a project to build a greenhouse extension, rediscovered my love for Maths in general and geometry in particular, and after some further journeys went back to University to study Maths. I spent 6 happy years at Leeds University, emerging with two degrees and a baby daughter. I then spent 2 years researching computer assisted formal reasoning and formal systems design at Edinburgh University's Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, after which I got a job teaching Theoretical Computer Science at Sheffield University. I moved to Devon in 2004 and have since tutored GCSE and A level Maths, taught Statistics at Plymouth University and have been an associate lecturer in Mathematics and Computing with the Open University since 2007. I am a partner in a land-based permaculture project Thornleigh Saddle LLP on 11.5 acres of land near Totnes and I run a systems design and consultancy business Fairflow Systems Design Ltd. I acquired a Raspberry Pi in June 2013 which I intend to use to design and implement a number of systems such as a polytunnel temperature regulation system on the land.
