All opinions expressed are my own and do not reflect those of my employer, or anyone else for that matter.

It's mostly about cars and computers to be honest. You should be pretty safe.

I work as a Security Engineer for a well-known organisation, helping to keep systems and data secure by automating processes and building security tools. It's fun, if you like that sort of thing.

When I'm not doing that, I'm probably green laning in my Panda 4x4 or hiking in the hills of Northern England. Or possibly eating a kebab.

Further information

I also have a degree in Software Engineering from Leeds Metropolitan University, although these days I do most of my coding in PowerShell rather than C++. I have a number of other Microsoft certificates for outdated systems like SQL Server 7 and Windows Server 2000 - yes, I've been doing this stuff for a long time. I first started coding in Spectrum Basic on a ZX Spectrum+. I was taught Turbo Pascal at college. I used to admin NetWare 4 and Windows For Workgroups. That kind of long.
