backend, Angular on the frontend, with Kafka, MongoDB and Elasticsearch
as supporting technologies.
</li>
<li>
2024, Scott Logic. Researched the potential of applying LLMs to
automated accessibility testing of websites, using Langchain Python
library, elementary prompt engineering techniques, and various scripting
languages to knit all our data together.
</li>
<li>
2023, Scott Logic. Investigated the accessibility of the
<a href="https://blog.scottlogic.com">Scott Logic blog</a> both manually
and using automated tools, including pa11y and Lighthouse. Made several
recommendations for improvements.
</li>

<h2>Passions</h2>
<ul>
<li>
I would love to see ordinary people empowered to engage with Web
technology as sovereign citizens, owning their own data, with the
ability to choose freely between competing digital services. I haven't
yet been shaken out of my naïve hope for the IndieWeb, though I
recognise it has a long way to go before it is ready for mass adoption.
</li>
<li>
I love Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world. Lots of people believe
that there is some higher power behind the things we can see, and Jesus
has revealed who God is by being made flesh, dying on the cross and by
being raised to a new Resurrection life, in which we are all invited to
participate. And I think that's pretty gnarly.
</li>
<li>
I love hillwalking. A day in the hills is the best kind of rest I know.
