Rhys Gibson’s Summary

I started out as a VB/C programmer, working on expert systems for environmental modelling. Then moved to pure C/C++ code cutting for a while at P:rd, and ended up as P:rd's UK-based development manager. I joined Alcatel in a solutions architecture role when I came back to NZ and finished up running their OSS Solutions and Assure Development groups.

At the moment, I've just started as Business Applications Manager at the TEC.

What's in the future? Who knows? I tend to make it up as I go along. In general, I just like working with smart people on interesting problems that matter and having some fun while I'm doing it.
