Andy Thornton’s Summary
With over 20 years experience as a developer holding positions with Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Exxon, marchFIRST and Intergraph, I have been fortunate to work within an industry I enjoy.
I began my career in London and, like many people in IT at that time, I primarily worked on mainframes with an emphasis on database design. Before moving into consultancy on database and architectural design as well as data security. In the latter half of the nineties I finally settled down with on-line application development and information architecture on the web.
Prior to the millennium, my primary focus was on Microsoft technologies (IIS / ASP / VB / .Net / SQL server). However for the last few years my attention has been steadily shifting more towards the open source end of the industry with languages such as PHP, Python, Ruby and LAMP Environments.
I am an ardent Linux user and in my spare I spend my time reading manuals and researching the industry to keep up with the latest trends. I am a constant “tweaker” of both hardware and software and love finding new uses for ‘obsolete’ technology.
