Hi 👋, I’m Ryan Southgate a Software Developer in the West Midlands, UK.

That's me (try refreshing the page)

I graduated University with a Masters of Software Engineering and have been working in the industry for over a decade. I’ve worked in a number of different sectors, for a large number of different companies/clients. I made the switch from Permanent to Contract work 6 years into my career. And have not looked back, I enjoy the faster pace of work, getting up-to-speed quickly, having an immediate impact and passing on my knowledge/skills.

I’ve spoken a couple of times at local UserGroups.

Outside of tech, I enjoy driving/working on my Car.

I hope this blog is useful in some way and you find a post or two helpful. It serves as a great reference point for me when I forget things I’ve done and need to do again.
