I'm an enterprise web and software developer in Bristol (UK).
Having started in the mid '80s, I've done (in date order) Z80, 8086, SQL, Pascal, Modula-2, Delphi, VB6, VB.Net, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby/Rails, Python, Node, and Go.
I use Windows, Linux, and Mac. My focus is on C# and Node for work, with Go, Python, and the occasional Ruby on the side.
I can be contacted on email@ followed by this domain name.
