I guess I should do #introduction? For all the people who aren't following me. ;-)

Ahem. I'm a #software engineer and a (mostly) PC #gamer, although I can't play FPS games because motion sickness. I''ve got an undergrad degree in #computerscience and a masters in #oceanography (yes, I know that's an unusual combination). I worked in airborne and #satellite #remotesensing (mostly) of the oceans for twelve years (a few publications but nothing first-author, I was doing tech rather than science) before gradually drifting back to software engineering via weather radar. Also spent most of that time as a #tradeunion rep - strong believer in the necessity of collective bargaining and collective action as a counterbalance to over-emphasised executive/management power.

Mostly coding in #python these days and trying to get my head around #aws.
