Currently a Technical Architect in the UK, mainly working on educational apps and line of business stuff for educational related commercial companies and government departments.

These days I generally work in C# and SQL, but in the past I’ve developed in everything from Assembly Language (68000 and x86) through to VB.Net/C#, with plenty of others inbetween (even wierd stuff like ADA :)). I am also the coordinator of the Manchester NxtGenUG .Net User Group which started up in May 2009

I’m a big proponent of open source, and actively work on several projects including TinyIoC and Nancy.

I’ve also done my time in the support/engineering side of IT, so I’m pretty much a geek through and through :-) I’m a firm believer that reading and “best practices” are no substitute for using your brain!
