About me

A bit of background about myself. I’ve a strong software engineering background. Architects come from backgrounds including analysis and infrastructure. My route originates from development. BASIC, hardware/Assembly language in the 80’s and 90’s, Visual Basic/VBA and onto Windows/DCOM/SQL Server work before focusing on what we now call Solution Architecture.
