What I'm Doing Now

I’m CTO at CoverageBook, building new features and exploring how AI can improve our product.

Running One Ruby Thing, a fortnightly email newsletter about Ruby and Rails techniques.

Planning Brighton Ruby 2026.

Excited about Rails 8, Solid Queue, Solid Cache, Hotwire improvements, and taming the robot army now at my fingertips.
