Now

I live in Sheffield and enjoy being by the Peak District, but also make occasional trips down to London where I still have family and friends.

AI software development

I’ve been a software developer for over twenty years. The arrival of LLMs is massively changing the nature of that job. My main project at the moment is to figure out how to work as a software developer with AI tools. To that end I’m playing around with Cursor and Zed, asking Claude lots of questions, and trying to see how far I can get while writing almost no code myself.

Warhammer

Over the last few years I’ve been getting back into Warhammer (having given it up when I was a teenager because it was too childish). I’ve always been a painter rather than a gamer, in part because I paint so slowly that I’ve never had an actual army. I’m currently starting a project to create a space marine chapter of my own, called Lux Imperatoris. Because I’m a glutton for punishment I’ve decided that the colour scheme should be primarily white. Some of what I’m painting might make it’s way to Instagram.

Music

I’ve recently released a few techno tracks as C.Z. Robertson. I’m working pretty slowly at the moment, so don’t hold your breath for much new stuff.

I’d be interested in doing more remixes and maybe collaborations, particularly with people working in the dark ambient and industrial genres. Please get in touch if this is something you might like to do.
