#Introduction
Kia ora, I'm Philip from New Zealand.
My main interest at present is #EarlyModern English heraldic writer John Guillim. I'm actively researching his life and surviving writings, with a view to writing a biography and digital scholarly edition.
For a long time my interests have spanned both STEM and the humanities, and I have followed various paths into and out of academia to allow me to pursue both (current degree count: 2 bachelors, 2 masters, 1 doctorate). My current paradigm involves a day job as a web developer, with free time spent as an independent scholar. Perhaps inevitably this combination has led to the #DigitalHumanities, where I am interested in #TEI and developing a better interface to a #DigitalScholarlyEdition.
At the moment I'm doing a lot of #paleography and sharing the highs and lows of transcription, a smattering of #BookHistory, as well as commenting on #heraldry and #ceremonial in general.
