Senior architect at Zuhlke since 2003. Freelance 2002-2003 (with a six-month spell at Psion Teklogix). Logica 1980-2002 (Telecoms since 1991). University of Leeds (Physics with Astrophysics). BCS SPA (formerly OOPS) committee since God knows when. Caught Smalltalk in 1984, then C++, then Perl, then Java, then Scrum and XP. In my real life I have a family (both kids now at University - unbelievable) and love music (singing in several choirs), aviation and spaceflight.
