I'm a seasoned developer with several decades of IT experience on projects big and small, with a couple of career breaks and a mid-career computer science degree thrown into the mix, but now potentially retired and enjoying some leisure time and new hobbies.

From 2008 to 2018 I ran my own tiny little company, OpenBrace Limited, developing a Java-based tool called "ObMimic" and its accompanying website. This provided a set of ready-made test-doubles for the Servlet API, for out-of-container testing of any code running on top of the Servlet API. I also did a little freelance/consultancy work alongside that.

Since closing OpenBrace I've been clearing the decks ready for whatever I might or might not decide to do next - though that might amount to just enjoying my retirement or finding myself some entirely new activities...
