I’m a thirty-something geek, living in north Staffordshire and working in south Derbyshire as a telecoms research engineer, which basically means I’m a professional tinkerer.

Prior to being in telecoms, I predominantly worked in the technical side of broadcast and professional video with a brief spell as an industrial automation trainee before that. Generally speaking, the handful of positions I’ve held have all been very cool as I get paid to do something that I love doing, and as you go through life you realise that is actually quite a privileged position to hold.

As can be inferred from the previous sentence, my hobbies generally align with my past and present commercial activities, hence interests in telecoms, networking, home cinema, video production and photography.

And silly cars.

If you feel a desperate need to do so, you can follow me on Twitter. I also have another, slightly well less tended web site over at disgruntledgoat.com that covers a rather bemusing array of random crap.
