Completed a first class Honours Degree in Computer Science back in 2002.


Been jumping between development and test since, and my niche is probably developing automated test frameworks and systems. But I enjoy venturing into the unknown and trying new things and have worked in a variety of domains, from network communication to air traffic control to gaming platforms.
Also love my travelling and photography, and am getting into writing.

Fair point, on SE sites I tend to go through phases and go through in one foul swoop accepting answers every so often. Two of them I'm still trying out the suggestions tho, so can't accept all of them!

For sure re the tolerance. I've been at this new role for 3 weeks now, and today's the first day I've touched coffee. Lack of sleep last night, and I had what I knew would be a long meeting coming up - so it occurred to me timing of my intake might be critical to staying compos mentis for its duration ;)
