Hello, I’m Paul Davison. I live in Hertford, UK, with my wife and 2 cats.
I have been involved in computers pretty much all my life. My career in software has ranged from my very first job at Queen Mary College (as it was known then), through working at a small London based software house for many years, a period of self-employment, then various stints at networking companies like Juniper Networks, then a period working on smart street lighting and smart cities at Telensa, then at Ocado working on warehouse automation projects. As I work towards retirement I’m doing a little portfolio work.
In my non-work life I am the walking stereotype of a computer scientist, enjoying reading/watching Science Fiction, brewing and consuming beer, playing games (online RPGs and in-person ones like D&D and Call of Cthulhu), and music with a particular slant towards prog.
I am left-leaning in political outlook, utterly despairing of both the Tories and Brexit in equal measure.
I can be found on Bluesky here if you want to keep in contact.
