I&#8217;m Andrew Johnson and this is my personal site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a software developer living in Manchester, in the North West of England. I am a keen hill walker, backpacker, and rock climber. I also cook and photograph things, with wildly varying results. I write about some of those things, and others, here. If I could be anywhere, it would be Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am interested in science and technology in general; and AI \/ machine learning, mobile devices, UX\/design, and hardware\/electronics in particular. I have been known to wire things up to microcontrollers on occasions.
