I live with my partner Lily in Melbourne, Australia. We moved there together after meeting in Viet Nam - I am from London, UK originally and Lily is from Viet Nam. We like to go for picnics at the beach or parks, cycle around the city, and head into town to play board games, relax and have food or coffee.

I work for an e-Learning company where I am an innovator, programmer, and consultant and study a PhD at the University of Melbourne in data analytics of educational technology.
