Well hello there

My name's Chris and I live in Berlin with my husband Josh and my cat Sulu.

I'm an android developer, engineering manager, ADHD sufferer, public speaker, activist, election candidate, political party deputy chair, AI MSc student, and Tempelhofer Feld Crow Queen.

Anyway, this is the space where I try to bring a semblance of order to that lot of things. Thanks for popping by and, if you need to get in touch, tweet or email me.
