Welcome!

I am an IT professional and technologist based in London, UK.

Here you will find various things that interest me and, I hope, others.

I tend to publish long form articles some of which take a while to compile and present, hence sometimes long gaps between posts. Content is generally technology related.

I have a particular interest in the history of computing going back to the origins of the digital computer at Bletchley Park in the 1940’s. My intention is to publish a set of articles that document the emergence of digital computers out of necessity during World War II. There are two articles on the site that start that story:

• The Enigma Machine - A write up on how the German Enigma cipher machine works
• Cracking Enigma - Part 1 - How the Polish codebreakers cracked Enigma

Other than that there are write-ups of the various software and technology projects I have built or experiemented with. I enjoy coding in Go, so most of the software projects are written in Go.

Watch this space for more codebreaking, Go and retro computing content.
