Neil is a contractor, specialising in C++ programming on Unix and
|
|
Linux. He has degrees in Computer science and Next Generation Computing.
|
|
As of April 2002, Neil has, like many other British Contractors, been
|
|
"resting" for longer than he would like to admit. He is, however, making
|
|
positive use of his time and skills as an IT Volunteer with
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.victimsupport.org.uk/">Victim Support</A> and
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.leonard-cheshire.org/">Leonard Cheshire</A>.
|
|
|
|
<P> Neil has worked on a wide range of systems from the control system for the
|
|
British Gas national grid to video servers for the Home Choice video on
|
|
demand service. He first programmed computers in 1980 with his school General
|
|
Studies class, which was allowed access to a mainframe at The National
|
|
Institute of Oceanography, programmed in Fortran on punch cards.
|
|
|
|
<P> A computer science degree followed at Queen Mary College, London, then Neil
|
|
worked for Logica for 3 years before taking an MSc in New Generation
|
|
Computing at Exeter University.
|
|
|
|
<P> The next 5 years saw Neil researching parallel simulation algorithms at the
|
|
Royal Signals and Radar Establishment, initially on transputers and
|
|
subsequently on SPARC based parallel systems. Since leaving RSRE, Neil has
|
|
mostly worked freelance and has worked on financial data feeds, video servers
|
|
and virus scanning proxies.
|
|
|
|
<P> Neil first used Unix at college in 1982 and started working on Linux in 1996.
