Grew up with all things Electronic in the house.
Studied Computer Science, A Bachelor's degree, at Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia, the lucky years, the early nineties. Was lucky enough to work with the CSIRO supercomputer facilities there, which inspired a whole new direction.
Have been working in various Electronic Engineering related fields since, both continuing studies with that, and part time teaching of adult students with learning difficulties, both in Programming/IT and engineeering fields.
My main pastimes include growing tomatoes, and of course developing for Lunatics & Berkeley. One day I hope to move all the science, learned strategies & algorithms to field programmable hardware, which combined with GPUs will be the next big leap.
