• you want to hire me as a consultant and are interested in understanding me as a person too: in which case mind your own business.

I was brought up in London, but moved to Sheffield to do my degree and PhD, and have remained there ever since.

My chief hobby at the moment is fixing bugs in the Perl 5 interpreter. This is a really fantastic Open Source programming language, in case you didn't know. (And if you didn't know, you probably didn't want to either).

I'm a vegan, which is all about being kind to small furry mammals.
Or something.
