An experienced software professional and cat herder with strong skills in technical project management, software and systems architecture on the bleeding edge of IT - secure data environments, distributed, data-intensive and high-performance computing.A background in the physical sciences has furnished me with excellent analytic and problem-solving skills, and thirty years in novel, high-performance software and service development has allowed me to apply them to a broad range of challenges. I have over twenty-five years’ practical experience of software architecture, design and development, another twenty of leading projects on the cutting edge of IT – including more than fifteen years of mixing PRINCE2 project management with Agile development methods before that was even a thing – and a wealth of experience in motivating and directing talented people in fast-moving technical environments.Specialties: Complex data systems; distributed computing; bleeding edge IT; herding cats*.* www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MaJDK3VNE ;-)
