I'm a technologist available for hire in the West of England.

I've done a few different things over the last few years: currently I'm at Global Radio in Reading, having fun with AWS and some frankly strange quadratic equations. Previously I was with Nokia Entertainment in Bristol, optimising how music files are ingested and transcoded.

It's not all music: before that I worked with www.doccom.me, helping doctors communicate with each other, creating a mobile version of their site and adding an OData API.

And before that, amongst other things, I was the Product Marketing Manager in Europe for Borland Delphi.

Jul 21	comment	How do I remove dried paint from ceramic tiles and the bathtub? You may also find that proprietary paint wipes do the job. Be really careful, though, especially on that plastic bath: you may find it takes the gloss off the finish, too.

Jul 21	comment	How do I repair a small leak in a steam radiator? Could this be a big problem? I fear if it's away from the valve that it may well be rusted through.

Jul 21	comment	How do I install a new, non load bearing wall in my basement? If you're in a basement with any sign of damp, I'd at least make sure that the void behind the drywall has ventilation of some kind. That might be as simple as knocking through to the void in the ceiling.
