Talking to a computer near you. Just completed backpacked solo run from Cádiz to Barcelona (1568 km).

A software engineer by trade, my recent work mixes technical consultancy in containerised systems, natural-language processing, and development of large-scale internet data-processing engines.

With 7 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 4 years, I have mostly focussed on big-data architecture, distributed parallel-processing, and high-availability systems. Notable roles include VP of Engineering; Big-data Architect, and Senior Engineer, and I am equally comfortable in DevOps, Development, and Data roles.

My interests are diverse, and include systems, music, travel, running, linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy.

May you find peace, and help others to do likewise.
