Jamie Tanna | Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his), and I'm currently a Tech Lead (Software Development Engineer 3) at Capital One UK where I'm working on Third Party API engineering.

I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our beautiful terror of a cat Morph.

I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have previously, or are currently, working on in my spare time.

I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible, instead of relying on other providers.

Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.

I feel personally attacked by this tweet. I don't know how I'm going to continue to grow my wardrobe in a post-COVID world

My fiancé’s entire wardrobe is all tech “swag” that you get from conferences and joining new communities lol
