I started my career in computing in the days of CPM and C/CPM, building network operating systems and correcting bespoke software written to manage community transport booking and accounting systems.

I fist came across UNIX when called upon to migrate database systems from Mercator BBS to Thoroughbred Basic. Excited by the power and flexibility of UNIX in 1989/90 I studied the OS at City University night classes while developing my practical skills in a SCO Xenix environment during the working day.

In 1994 I was introduced to Linux by students in the School of Mathematics and Computing at North London University. Although initially sceptical of the ability of the fledgling OS to meet the requirements of large scale mission critical systems, I rapidly became a convert to Linux in a corporate environment.

I have now worked professionally as a systems manager and systems administrator with Xenix, AIX, HPUX, SunOS, Solaris and Linux in the City, Antwerp, McLean Virginia, Cairo, Birmingham and Nottingham for over 25 years
