About

Generalist.

Ex-Astronomer, ex-Starlink (not that one), ex-Beenz, ex-BBC.

OK enough at programming to make a living.

Created the FoxiMax word game with my family.

At the time of writing I'm top in the Ant tag on SO, due to a misspent middle-naughties building pre-iPhone phone software. Suggested the name for the SO "Marshal" tag an age ago, so ended up being 3rd recipient.
