My interest in computers started on a BBC Basic computer from the age of 6, from there I grew up on DOS when my dad brought home a 286. I then went to university and then moved on to a professional career in 2005. I am an avid traveller and armature scuba diver. I received my PADI Rescue Diver certificate in the Galapagos Islands, where I did a drift dive whilst a school of white tip fin sharks were swimming overhead, very surreal.
