I first started tinkering with a ZX81 back in 1981 and it's lovely blocky graphics, teaching myself Z80 assembler and BASIC. I come from a hardware background and electronics - I started out in embedded software for avionics but soon moved onto PC platforms.

Java and C++ are my prefered language but also dabble in VB and .NET.

I'm a team leader with Nokia developing Series 40 features - it's a cool place to work!
