I am a specialist in INTER-DOMAIN GENERAL SYSTEMS OPTIMISATION with a particular aptitude for eliciting solutions where there are no obvious avenues forward. My career traverses multiple domains and I have experience as an Engineer, an Economist, a Manager, an Entrepreneur, a Businessman, a Teacher, a Researcher and Writer. I have worked in the fields of computer hardware and software, academia, problem solution, consultancy, design, accountancy and military procurement. I have worked in the countries of Britain, Spain, Ireland and Canada, and in the languages of English and Spanish in which I am fluent. I have worked as a permanent employee, under contract and as a freelancer and have helped others to steer projects large and small to a successful and timely completion.

I have contributed over two and a half man-years of computer programming to open source and my code is present in much of the world's telecommunications infrastructure including the root DNS servers which are central to the internet, the world's leading ERP solution used by hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide, the branch ATM network of one of the world's largest banks, the EuroFighter defence aircraft, the Micrium car operating system used by many European and Japanese car manufacturers and one of the data analysis and planning tools used by the US Department of Defence. I operate my own geographically distributed information repository cloud based on the Plone content and knowledge management system which allows interested people to collaboratively work on a series of next generation repositories of information useful to society.

I am a year 2000 graduate of Software Engineering at the University of Hull, England, with extensive experience of working prior to and during my degree, and where my final project was an Object Orientated Hardware Abstraction Layer with a port of the uC/OS II real time operating system.
