Welcome

My name, as you may have guessed is Tom Bale. I was Born, raised and live in Somerset, UK. I am an IT systems engineer at an international independent school. I am a Dad so don’t get much spare time but when I do find some time to myself I am caring for my reef tank or experimenting with technology. This site acts as on online portfolio, I think of it as a one member social media site.

My blogs include topics such as campervan conversions, reef tanks and smart home tech.
