About

I've been a professional software engineer since 1999, and have worked in a wide range of industries and technologies and have used just about every major platform!

I'm here on the Retrocomputing StackExchange because of my love of the Commodore Amiga computer. I started using an Amiga 500 in about 1990, and I am currently restoring and refreshing my Amiga 1200 which I bought around 1994.
