Feel free to edit this as you like..

According to the business card I'm a "Principal Software Engineer" for
Thales Training & Simulation.  Until recently I was responsible for the
real-time part of one of our simulator test tools (in a mixture of Java
and C).  Now I'm supposed to be learning about MS Access and supporting
some complex C++ code (not in the same application as the Access code).

I've been at Thales and predecessors for a long time, and I've done a
lot of debugging^Wdevelopment on a lot of platforms - and I reckon that
the Unix way suits me best.

Currently Debian testing on x86 and PowerPC platforms, and Debian stable
on a (very) old and slow SPARC box (Sun IPC). I've arrived at Debian via
Suse 6/7.n, Redhat 4/5/6.n and an odd version of Slackware that came
'free' with a 'Using Linux' book.
