| Worked at INMOS from 1986-1989 first as a tester programmer then as a Systems Manager. He went on to work at Science Systems helping to control SkyNet/4B and Severn Trent pumping stations before moving back to Digital to fix all the bugs that he put into Office Server/ALL-IN-1 during his first spell working there, surviving both the Compaq and HP takeovers he ended up working integrating the SYSUAF security database with LDAP on OpenVMS. The HP takeover however proved to be fatal. Wanting a change he took a PGCE in Primary Teaching in 2004 and taught 7-8 year olds in a Primary School in Yate. However, after the devastating effect of a false accusation at school he moved on again to combine his teaching with his years of computing experience to teach 16-24 year old IT Support apprentices with Pearson in Practice in Bristol. Then, leaving teaching, he worked for Third Dimension a metrology company who make GapGun a handheld laser profile measurement tool, visited 35 countries in 7 years working with the likes of Jaguar, VW/Audi, Renault, Toyota, Nissan, Airbus, BAe, GKN, Rolls Royce and many others. Now doing Software Analysis for Edwards Vacuum who make abatement equipment and pumps for the Semiconductor Industry and in that capacity recently visited the old INMOS Duffryn site, now owned by Vishay Electronics. He has two children Nick(1992) and Ellie(1994). Updated Oct 2024 |
