Ahoy~!! I’m vereis!!
I’m a London-based Tech Lead working for a startup that builds software for veterinarians. We’re trying to save vets time so they can focus on what they do best: helping animals.
I read Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence at the University of Kent and I graduated in 2018.
Since then I’ve had the pleasure of being able to focus on “niche” technologies like Erlang and Elixir alongside anything else that tickles my fancy.
Outside of programming and technology, I’m a huge foodie, a cook, and I’m a self-proclaimed tea snob.
Background
I’m a self-taught programmer who started programming to make video games.
I started with GameMaker when I was seven, where I (very inefficiently) taught myself the basics of programming.

As a result, I’ve dabbled in frontend development, backend development, game development, DevOps, and even a bit of embedded systems programming.
Nowadays, my go-to tech stack generally includes:
This Website
This website is currently built with Phoenix LiveView and SQLite (using LiteFS) on fly.io.
The CSS theme is heavily inspired by the beautiful terminal user interfaces created by charmbracelet.
The font used throughout the site is Maple Mono.
My goal for this website is to have a place where I can share my thoughts, opinions, experiments, and other random musings with the world.
Feel free to explore the site!
