Me! photo: Charlotte Moore
I’m a freelance Software Consultant, generally working through my company Mnemote Pty Ltd.
I’ve worked in a lot of fields including telecommunications, health and logistics. My current work is in bioinformatics where I’m working on CountESS and MaveDB.
I mostly work with Open Source technologies, programming mostly in Python but also C, JavaScript, SQL and various others. One of my proudest career moments was getting RFC 4429 to Proposed Standard. I’m also very interested in Mesh Networking, MicroPython and programming language design especially in education.
I’ve been on “the Internet” since 1990 when Melbourne University helpfully provided me with Usenet access, a room full of warm VT320s and, eventually, a degree in Computer Science. Somewhere along the way I learnt a fair bit about Unix, Free Software and IP networking, which have pretty much defined my career ever since.
I live in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia with my family, including a very enthusiastic dog and a very vocal cat. I enjoy cycling and music and I’m learning a bit of ukulele.

I was previously very active on Twitter but given the state of the place I’m not longer using it and will probably delete the account soon.
I’m not active on any of the other social media services at this time and haven’t bothered to sign up to every one of them just to reserve my usual name, so if you see me there, it ain’t me. Feel free to drop me an email if you think someone is impersonating me on one of those sites.
