Created by Nic Williams

With 10 years’ experience in the industry and an additional 14 years’ programming previously, computing and mathematics have long been core interests of mine. During the past 7 years, I have mostly focussed on big-data architecture, distributed parallel processing, and high-availability systems. Notable former roles include VP of Engineering, big-data architect, and senior engineer, and I am equally comfortable as devops engineer, programmer, or data architect. I am passionate about high-quality engineering, regardless of the role, and am well-versed in principles of security theory and practice.
