My name is John Cooke, aka Cookiesworld. I’m a senior software developer based in Manchester, UK, with experience across .NET, Azure, and React. Primarily in the financial services sector. I’m currently undertaking a Master’s programme in Technical and Digital Leadership through QA, as part of my progression toward principal engineer level. This blog is where I write about software development, certifications, tools I’m tinkering with, and occasional reflections on engineering and leadership. You can find me on LinkedIn, GitHub, or drop me a line at here.

Outside of work I enjoy running, riding bikes, and playing retro games on my RetroPie. I’m also a husband and father to one boy and two cats.
