British guy based near London, mainly interested in politics and history, but a manager of a software development team during the day, with a degree in molecular biology, of all things, from UEA, and very much interested in languages. English is my first language, but I am bilingual in French and can handle a smattering of (in order) Spanish, German and Welsh, with the odd word of several others. I'm a punctuation fascist (see ISBN 1861976127), but not really one over grammar and make a somewhat individual use of the English language. A vanity list of my contributions (which is usually out of date) is a subpage of this one.
In the little free time I have between socialising and wasting time, politics is a big thing for me and I am one of the guys behind the Open Rights Group, mySociety and UKCOD; I was also involved in founding NO2ID. My mores tend to be libertarian–left; according to a hurried Political Compass run-through, I just scored −8.38/−5.08, putting me a bit further left and a little more libertarian than Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, apparently. I very much enjoy debating my views with people who disagree with me, though; much of my "serious time" online is spent discussing politics in a very diverse group of friends and acquaintances (or was, until I became a Wikiholic). Recent thought suggests much of my personal alignment might be informed by my mother's Welsh Non-Conformism; very little of my politics, though some of my morals, are more informed by my father's Catholicism. I tend to describe myself as a Liberal Catholic and — underscoring the Liberal part — polyamorous.
I work for a ad agency, running a Microsoft .Net Web development team and being the technology lead for one of our key clients. I have a print-media and digital-media-agency background, notably having worked for Marks & Spencer, Hertz and uSwitch in the past. I mainly do management stuff these days, though I also code some — generally in C#, though I worked with JSP in the past and also specialised in front-end development, pticly CSS and Web accessibility). My CV is available on request, but it'd have to be a good offer if you wanna headhunt me ;o)
