I'm an engineer. I bake. I can also be a bit obsessive at times. So here's everything that I've baked since 2009. I hope you like it...

Verdict: Rhubarb and apple crumble
Pretty darned good! It was about the best crumble topping I've ever managed (still slightly over-mixed I think, but not bad), and the balance of flavours was absolutely spot on. It could have done with cooking for a bit longer I think; the filling was very watery and the apples a little bit too firm, but the rhubarb went beautifully soft, which is the main thing in my opinion. It tasted wonderful though!
I was until recently a graduate student at Oxford, looking at heat transfer to turbine blades in jet engines. Following a brief stint in the fast world of Formula One, I'm back at my old lab looking at... heat transfer to turbine discs in jet engines. It's almost as if the last two years never happened! I drink rather a lot of tea and juggle badly... often while swearing at my computer. And they say men can't multitask.
I'm under no illusions that anyone actually reads my blogs, but frankly I don't care...
