I worked as a professional developer for 14 years for several different companies including Proquest, CSC and AT&T before going full-time as a course creator. I currently live in Italy, although as a native Brit you get to enjoy (or put up with!) my British English accent while following your chosen courses.

In my spare time I like to write science fiction, often in cafes, and I'm a fan of old books.
