I am a Project Maintainer for TiddlyWiki 5. I have a background as a UX designer, developer, doctor, photographer, and a non-profit educational sector jack of all trades, plus a few other things I often forget.

I first discovered TiddlyWiki in early 2005, and fully embraced it in 2006 while searching for a practical way to prototype software solutions for the educational non-profit I was working with at the time. What began as a tool quickly became a teacher. Through TiddlyWiki, I learned how to code, earned my chops in JavaScript and frontend development, and grew into technical leadership and project lead roles. I later formalized this experience with a Master’s degree in IT, with a focus on user experience design.

My work with TiddlyWiki today centers on using it as an application prototyping and development platform, with a particular focus on its true offline-first capabilities and its strength as a tool for thinking, building, and iterating without friction.
