Software and web developer, husband, father, cat wrangler, writer, runner, coffee drinker, retro video games player. While not bashing my head against the desk repeatedly at work, or sitting in conference calls pretending to be clever, I write idiotic blog posts, occasionally trudge around town in running shoes, and attempt to survive living in a house with four women and two cats.

I live in deepest darkest England – land of good manners, punctuation, starched shirts, and silent indignation. I grew up near Oxford, and have ended up living in the countryside just outside London.

I like pizza, wine, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee, movies, music, and cycling. I am as as colour-blind as a hedgehog in a bag, but can draw a mean doodle. I listen to random music on Spotify, watch streaming TV shows on the internet, and spend far too much time playing retro video games.

p.s. I also write an almost-daily personal journal over at Substack - https://jonbeckett.substack.com (it's free - go subscribe!)
