About me
My name is Josh Holland, and I work on a mix of development and devops tasks at an environmental research organisation in Lancaster, in north-west England. My background is in pure maths and theoretical computer science, and I’m also interested in music, languages, and bellringing.
You can get in touch with me via the social media links in the navigation bar, or by email to josh@inv.alid.pw.
