Welcome to the personal website and blog of software engineer and technology enthusiast – Andy Heathershaw.
I’m a commercial .NET developer and open-source PHP and Go developer based in the West Midlands, England. I live with my husband and I’m daddy to an eleven-year-old Labrador called Mickey and two growing boys.

Waggybytes Technology is the brand under which I develop and sell software applications as side projects to my day-to-day career.
These side projects help me to learn and craft my skills in technologies and methodologies I wouldn't encounter in my usual 9-5 job.
Waggybytes Technology first launched in June 2020, and I started operating it as a limited company in January 2024 - but it is still me and my side projects.
