My interest in Information Technology started in 1982 when I was introduced to a ZX81 and became fascinated by the simplicity of the parts that made such a variety of experiences possible. I moved on through 'A'-levels and BSc getting more interested in the construction of computers and the development of interacting systems along with more acclaim and expectation for my future, then moving to London, I quickly sped through the ranks of an IT operations department, then landing in a critical role in operations support, managing failures, disasters, developing robust solutions and pushing for increased reliability. After a brief spell in global support for a multinational bank, moving on to more varied responsibility in a PC sysadmin role, developing enterprise solutions and supporting everyday operations.
