I have been fascinated by computer and electronics since getting my first Sinclair ZX81 at 9 age, and spent several years hacking on Commodore machines in 6502 and Acorn (ARM) assembler and BASIC until was old enough to get a proper job. I have worked as a developer, system administrator, trainer, consultant, manager and speaker. I have worked with a variety of platforms and technologies, consulting for non-profits, telecoms, financial services, and government (Italian Air Force, Navy, and Army).
