Hi, I’m Alan.
And I have a very particular set of skills.
Skills that I have built up over a long career in tech, business, data and analytics.
I break problems down. Then I build the answers from the ground up.
Which makes me somewhat of a cross between Liam Neeson in Taken and Winston Wolf in Pulp Fiction.
Or is it Tom Hagen from The Godfather and Obi Wan Kenobi after he becomes One with The Force?
Peter from Office Space and John Cusack in Hi Fidelity? Chandler and Ross from Friends?
(I could play this game all day.)
This site gathers together my thoughts on small business, personal finance, tech, careers, writing and my quest to build a simple kind of life.
If you enjoy my work and writing, you should join my regular newsletter. It contains interesting articles, quotes and stories from the topics above. With an added dash of humour to break up the monotony of adult life.
You won’t regret it (much).
