About the Author

I started life as a scientist but felt rather than come home glowing in the dark from all the radio active tracing, the decision to abandon the dream was in the interests of self preservation. Part time IT work picked up on the side to get by, pretty soon became full time. A one time systems administrator who dealt with windows when he had to and Linux whenever he could… landed safely in the cloud. Outside of work, I love to record & make music, predominantly with Cubase since version 3. I’ve loved and played lacrosse 🥍 from the age of 9, changing teams this year (2025) to join team Zebra blowing the whistle.
