moi

I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat, computing enthusiast (some hardware but mostly software); a guest member of staff at the School of Computing at Newcastle University (UK), working as part of the Computing History Special Interest Group, a PhD student (part-time) at the same School and a volunteer Developer for the Debian project.

Rather try to sum myself up in a sentence or two, why not have a browse around the site and draw your own conclusions. The most frequently updated part of my site is my weblog. The site is biased towards computing-related stuff: I am also interested in cycling, ice skating, photography, fiction, music, film, etc.

In the past I have been in a variety of IT-related roles at Newcastle University culminating with Head of Support for the School of Computing Science. In 2012 I served as a council-member of FLOSS UK (formerly UKUUG).
