Human

Raj lives in Manchester, UK, where he is a husband and a father first, and a computer scientist somewhere after that.

He's a football fan, an unrepentant petrolhead, and a lifelong nerd — as happy talking compilers, agents, and machine memory as he is arguing about line-ups and lap times.

Across three decades he has invented a programming language, given machines a memory, built 3D worlds, and — these days — builds secure agent systems at Nearfield.ai. He writes about software, agents, and the craft of engineering on Substack, and still believes there's no problem that can't be cracked with enough curiosity and stubbornness.

If you've read this far, you've reached the part of the dust jacket that says: thanks for stopping by.
