Re: What do you do for living?

I have a computer science BSc and 20 years postgrad IT experience.

I am currently consulting in the financial services sector in the City of London - employed by a consultancy as a full time employee.

My present role is applications support and development. This is a kind of jack-of-all-trades role, with C++ as the main programming language, also shell scripting and some Perl. Although I'm not being hired to do Perl, I sometimes get to introduce it when it seems the right tool for the job.

In my spare time (which my employer doesn't own), I'm doing lots of Perl, as author of 10 CPAN modules, a developmer of OpenGuides, webmaster and web host, and much else. I also attend and speak at some Perl conferences and workshops, self funded.
