I'm a technical consultant working with devops for a large consultancy.
I also run a Watersports centre with throughput of 60 students per day during the summer.
And finally I do some private web design and hosting along with some vinyl cutting work.

I'm a... High Performance Computing support and integration engineer for a software company based in Oxfordshire, however I do more of the software side than the hardware side these days... I now spend my time at work making other peoples' badly written software work, and make it work in a sane and efficient manner.
