Hard core developer - I go back to the original C/Unix days. Worked with many programming languages over the years and used Oracle for a long time, worked for them for 5 years.

I've done quite a bit of senior stuff: project management and design, career counselling,

Prefer to be designing and building software in an open environment, currently enjoying Ruby on Rails after a long period of Java misery.

Qualified kayak Level 3coach, when I can I'm usually trying to cartwheel down moving water.
