My career started in 1979 with building my first Sinclair ZX80 and progressing on to the spectrum which I still have today with all my code I copied and modified from the magazines at the time. I did my own self-learning and liked BBS systems which helped me to understand automation as I had to write my door handler scripts for accessing content and of course we had to write our own printer drivers to get some output, that would be invaluable in a. few years.

Decided to move out of my home town as it was holding me back with too many social problems, I tended to hibernate in my bedroom with my computers, train set and my Amstrad linear hi-fi, roll on to 1988 and I started to take chances with projects, got involved with a Wang VS transition to IBM AS400 B Range at the time and wrote a document migration engine which was converting documents, utilising my understanding of printing and changing formats, I wrote a gateway and started my own company. Worked with various telecom companies getting involved in RS422 over TCP/Ip early 90's which then got me into the tech boom of the time with promoting video systems over the internet and 3g etc. A career that I never planned never imagined it just happened and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Now I am creating IP around smart NIC's and Telecom billing systems and embedding applications into FPGA.

Hi all.

So with 10 years as a Test engineer under my belt, I look at the sector and how much it's changing, and I don't really like what I see. So with that, I have started to try to move in the direction of changing career paths towards development.
I am currently working through a number of Udemy courses, I do have JS experience but putting that to use in development is a little different to scripting for Automation. I'm getting there though.
If anyone would like to see my progress so far I am always open to some constructive criticism on my work. the link to my site should be in my bio.
So I hope to settle in here, learn a few things and try to help others where I can along the way.
Thanks for having me.

Hi all.

I'm 10 years in software test in automation and manual having started in Big Blue, where I kind of would love to return to. But with the way the sector is going, I am becoming very disillusioned with its direction. And now with a baby girl in the mix, I am trying to change my direction. currently working on a number of courses to move in the direction of becoming a developer.
So I am here hoping that I can learn some things and help some people along the way and just enjoy myself.

Thanks for having me.
