Hi. I'm Taylor, a web developer in London. I log far more of my life than is strictly necessary. I've logged every calorie for 2,555 days straight, which is either impressive or a cry for help depending on who's asking.

I started The Creative Tinker at 19. My side quests include developing a WordPress plugin , and co-hosting a weekly podcast with my dad that's somehow at 258 episodes. Elsewhere on here you'll find activities, sleep, flights, and whatever else I'm measuring. When I'm offline, I'm either hitting a ball with a racket or making another coffee.
