Louie Christie

Hi, I'm Louie Christie. I've had a varied career including:

• human-computer interaction consultant (IT consultant) for Kings College on a mental health app to slow down people's thinking, which is literally the opposite to what most apps do
• developing apps & websites almost as fast as tech startups can go bust
• podcast host mostly as an excuse to have a laugh with my mates
• panellist on a YouTube quiz show about video games
• hosting tech events but I can't do a forced fun face
• coaching coding to French students while half expecting the guillotine
• IT support mostly telling people to 'switch it off-and-on again'
• programming mainframe computers older and more decrepid than myself
• waiting tables, snowboarding, and dodging bears in Canada
• leading youth camps on Kangaroo Island
• pig farming in the desert

I have a masters degree in human-centred computer systems.

No, I'm not sure what that means either.

Think it's something to do with making computers user-friendly.

And goodness knows, we could all do with a bit of that.

When I'm not coding...

I can be found in London performing questionable quality stand-up comedy.

In small dark basements in rooms above pubs.
