Skills & interests

Good level of competence in all fields of computer use:

 Applications use   I have familiarity with all common office and many
                    database applications

 Programming        My final year Engineering project was to write a
                    database interface for the object-oriented Postgres95
                    RDBMS to allow connection to both the WWW and legacy
                    database systems.
                    I used to be a main developer of MikMod for Unix, a
                    multi-platform audio application currently portable to
                    most common Unix platforms
                    I maintain several packages for the Debian Linux
                    distribution

                    I have good knowledge of C, particularly in a Unix
                    environment, and to a small extent under DOS. I
                    have some experience of Pascal, C++, awk, sed,
                    perl, tcl, m4, sh, SQL, HTML and some variants of
                    assembly.

                    In the course of my employment at Allstor
                    Software I have helped to develop and maintain
                    several pieces of software for AIX (versions 3.2
                    through to 4.2), NetBSD (1.2 to 1.3) and Solaris
                    (2.4 to 2.6), ranging from simple application code
                    through to kernel drivers for each.

 System             I am sysadmin of my own machine running Linux which used
 administration     to be hammer.chu.cam.ac.uk, providing Unix shell access 
                    and other services for myself and about 60 other people
                    within the University

                    I have set up simple ethernet networks using a
                    variety of hardware.

                    I have experience of administering Solaris, NetBSD
                    and AIX (as above).

I have a full UK driving licence and I own a car.

I am a keen role-player, both running and playing games organised by CURS,
the University Role-Playing Society. I was elected Secretary for the
Society for three years and I am currently the Chief Caprine Entity. I
picked up a quarter-blue in 1996 for representing CURS (and hence the
University) in the annual Role-Playing Varsity Match with Oxford.

I am interested in almost all forms of sport and am willing to try anything,
even if I have little skill.
