Hi, I’m Richard, AKA parsingphase

Are you here because I gave you a card while birding?
You might be looking for my main collection at my Flickr account or my iNaturalist sightings.

I take photos as a hobby, and write code as a profession.

Software | Photography | 3D Printing | Mastodon | LLMs

On the software side, I build things in Javascript, Python, PHP and occasionally Java

I create documentation and guides as well as code

Commercially, I’ve worked for companies including -

• Forcepoint
• The London Internet Exchange
• Snatch
• Quidco
• Amazon (at The Book Depository)
• Fitch Learning
• Dennis Publishing
• The Mind Gym

I spent most of 2019 working on IX-API, and I’ve written up my experience
