48 years or so in technology isn’t that easy to summarise, I’ve held almost every role in IT, from programmer to IT Director; I’ve matrix managed teams of over 200+ as a programme manager, implemented data centres, built e-commerce and trading platforms, worked with AWS, mobile and heuristic products, been involved in designing highly secure networks, worked on the development of network management systems, helped define standards, programmed in over 12 languages, specialised for several years in middleware development, primarily working on distributed systems and high performance transaction processing.More recently I have been working as a principal consultant in a very niche area, Track & Trace and mainly working with large scale ERP (read SAP) implementations (not my favourite technology it has to be said, but it pays a crust). And even more recently have started dabbling with Python and Go to get myself back into coding and now find myself leading an evaluation into how best we (my current employer) can use AI.
