I'm male, 29, and live and work in and around South Lanarkshire. I'm married (since 2004) to Clare, and a dad (since 2007) to Beth. I'm a Capricorn. I like sunshine, but as a developer spend much of my time hiding away from it. I love lamp. I love Mountain Dew, and occasionaly treat myself to some at americansoda.co.uk (if you want to buy me any). I'd much rather be getting something done, than telling someone how well I can do it. I have a great family and beautiful daughter. I'm sometimes ashamed of my Last.FM profile (or of my poor musical tastes that it tells the world). I'm proud of my linked-in profile ... and i'm not the sort of person to enjoy writing about myself.
I'm currently working at gt4 where I'm lead developer on a number of projects, including several large scale developments with a global construction equipment company. Primarily we develop and support a number of clients ASP sites and systems. Some of our clients like us to roll up our sleeves and work in flash, which i'm only too happy to do. I also like to work in other languages such as php and c#. I work for Kenny who works for Tom.
I like to dress up and play soldier. Many people get the wrong idea when you say this, but its for a wargame called airsoft. I promise i'm quite sane. I love to read and had been dropping loads of hints about an ebook reader (which my lovely wife has since gifted me at x-mas). I like to play video games with my friends where i'm not at all competative, and i'm sure my friends would agree. I play bass guitar very badly.
