What does a typical day look like to you now?
I wake up between 7–8, have a coffee in bed and do some easy tasks like tweaking the site, replying to emails etc (it’s usually revolved around building something! — or fixing a build).
Then I usually play tennis for 90 minutes BUT current circumstances mean I do an hour of exercise in the house or go for a half walk/run.

How has Coronavirus impacted your life/work?
Honestly not all that much. I work from home all the time anyway, the only change is I don’t go out to play tennis. There’s been a big influx of calls and reactive project building over the last few weeks which is fine and temporary.

When this is all over, what will the opportunities look like?
I think lots more people will be paying attention to online education and no-code options which puts us in a very lucky position. Businesses will be looking to be more efficient and save resources where possible while trying to get their operations up to the same levels as before (if not way, way higher).
