I'm Murdo. I work at Shopify as a Senior Business Operations Lead. Before that, I spent nearly a decade at KPMG delivering strategic digital projects for clients like Walmart, TD, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and the Scottish Government.
I'm interested in the opportunities new technology creates and the systems behind great work. I'm originally from Scotland and now live in Toronto with my wife, two kids, and our chihuahua.

This site is minimalist by design. I write in Markdown, convert to HTML, and publish directly from my iPhone or MacBook.
It uses a lightly customized version of water.css. I feature the aerospace variant of international orange #FF4F00 as my accent color.
