Hey there!

I'm trying this again in an attempt to meet someone new! The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind, and I’ve been left feeling quite solitary at times, mainly due to living by myself, remote work, and my IRL friends moving / having different priorities.

I’m looking to change that though, which is hopefully where you come in!

What am I looking for? At the moment I’m looking for something long-term that is solely platonic. Someone to share new things with and message / voice chat from time-to-time when we’re available, but also accepting that we both live busy lives, and won’t be available all the time! I’ll be upfront and say I am open to more for the right person, but I hate rushing into romantic relationships if it’s not built on an existing connection.

A bit about me!

I'm 27 from the UK and have been working as a software developer for the last 9 years. Historically, my career has been the most important thing to me, but I think it’s important to find other things in life that give you joy and self worth!

My main focus recently has been on web accessibility, trying to make the internet more usable for marginalised groups, which I find super rewarding, so I have a tendency to be a workaholic from time-to-time.

📚 I’m a super passionate person, and get a lot of my fulfilment through learning new things and teaching others. My interests fluctuate in intensity, but photography, houseplants, and interior design are the ones that’ve stuck!

I love to read non-fiction too. Mainly around AI and neuroscience. I'd love to get some more fiction recommendations though! The main reason I rarely read it, is because I have Aphantasia, and it can be quite difficult for me to feel immersed!

🖌️ In an attempt to find more creative outlets, I’m also learning about 3D modelling / printing / Architecture Visualisation in my spare time! I’d also really like to take up pottery sometime so I can make my own ceramics!

☀️ My happy place is when I’m surrounded by plants with a cat on my lap, reading a good book.

Films & Games I don’t play games nearly enough, or watch films too often, but perhaps it’s something we could do eventually? I usually play PC/PS5, but I do have a Switch that’s collecting dust.
