About me

I've been using and administering Foswiki and it's pre-fork parent for about 8 years now. I'm a programmer by background - mainly C in Embedded environments - but currently heading up a Quality Engineering department, and looking for ways to keep my programming skills fresh and learn some things while contributing something useful. Helping out in the Foswiki community seems to be a good way to do this.
