I am a software engineer with many years experience. Coming from an academic background: First Class Honours in Computing Science; Philosophy Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Computing Science; Lecturer at Essex University; Research Fellow at Oxford University.

I left the academia in the late 80's and have been working in the Industry ever since.

The academic background forms a substantial strength in my work. Trained as a compiler writer first, capable to relate high-level theoretical issues to implementations at a programming level - as my doctorate thesis shows.

In the industry I have worked mainly in a UNIX/Linux environment in areas such as word processing; printing; laser printers; scanners; graphic environment with page layout and design; conversion of programs from one programming language to another and from one operating system to another; electronic commerce (e-commerce); web design; and many, many others.

During the last ten years I have worked as an architect, application designer and programmer in a Big Data innovative front edge company. In this area I have been able to show my main skills:

Architect/developer of systems that have an extremely low error rate and perform as promised. Exceptionally quick problem solver, seeing the ‘obvious’ that others cannot.
