• Started out young - hacked on Sinclair's speccy (48k - terrible rubber keys) and the BBC micro. Learnt everything from the local library and the books that came with the computers. Learnt assembly, C and C++ and ended up playing with PCs in the DOS era. Moved to linux (slackware originally).

  Ended up quitting school, working through the dotcom boom and bust and found myself in finance at various BigBank places before going back to education to do maths then comp sci. Still in finance tech these days.

  Still a hacker - language agnostic. Dabble in hardware and low level stuff in my spare time. I love the library though it's not what it once was.
