      <description>Grant is a software developer from Birmingham.
Graduating from university in 2009 with a 1st in Computer Science, he jumped straight into the industry coding websites and, later, mobile applications too.
He doesn&amp;rsquo;t always write about himself in the third person, but when he does it&amp;rsquo;s because he wants to sound like a robot (or when he&amp;rsquo;s trying to be professional and write a bio like this). The human side of Grant likes music, cooking, running and spending time with his wife and sons.</description>
