That's me on the Great Wall of China, North of Beijing. My chorus travelled to China in September 2012; a long flight, but most definitely worth it.

I'm a Software Developer located in Toronto, Ontario, currently under contract with Bluecat Systems. I'm doing some virtualization work using libguestfs to prepare a thinly-provisioned disk image, then using the resulting system via AQEMU and VirtualBox. I've also set up a git server and migrated the code base over from Perforce. I've also maintaining and updating the build process, running Jenkins.

I'm on LinkedIn and on Twitter, and you can also find me on #perl occasionally.

I've been developing software professionally for over twenty five years, starting with a variety of assemblers, then moving up the food chain to C, a sideways trip to Pascal, a brief visit with awk and finally, my current fav, Perl. I've worked in a variety of areas: word processing, data communications, robotics, desktop publishing, pharmacy management, the stock market, document conversion, and foreign exchange.

In my spare time, I sing the baritone part with the Toronto Northern Lights, a top notch men's chorus. In the Toronto area and feel liking singing? Come on out to a rehearsal and have a listen! Next show: March 16, 2013, at the Jane Mallett Theatre.
