About

I started out on a Commodore 16 back when I was four and progressed through various computing platforms, most notably Windows and then Linux, before discovering FreeBSD several years ago. Since then I have had a long-term love affair with this operating system!

I live in the offshore finance centre of Guernsey, part of the Channel Islands which sit between the mainlands of UK and France, and work within the IT department of a fiduciary (trust / finance industry) company.

Knowledge

I have been privileged through my career to have used many different computing platforms from the humble BBC Micro to large-scale IBM AS/400s. After discovering FreeBSD I became proficient at deploying, implementing and maintaining it in both personal and corporate environments.

It has been implemented privately at home to host my web and email server over my ADSL connection and as a Samba file server to store music and movies.

In the office it is used to monitor network traffic with MRTG, host an internal Wikipedia for application development documentation, allow marketing to mass-mail intermediaries using qmail and host SecureFTP file distribution on-line.
