Summary
I started working in IT at 18 after having dropped out of college. I got a taste of the *sweet life* during a teacher's strike and, with occasional regrets, never returned. I have been fortunate to work with many outstanding people these 35+ years and to participate in many exciting and challenging ventures. I have predominantly worked for companies I have started or at the start-ups of others in their early stages. I have exited four of these companies, three quite successfully, but I have also been a senior member of an entity which failed somewhat spectacularly. I have been heavily involved in data, software design, development, management and sales and always enjoyed software development too much to let go entirely. Currently, I'm establishing a new company, Smart Data. It is a data-as-a-service company that will offer products and services that address the needs of data scientists, software developers and corporations sourcing external data for the context and situational awareness required to become truly data-driven.
