Welcome!

I am an IT professional and technologist based in London, UK.

Here you will find various things that interest me and, I hope, others.

I tend to publish long form articles some of which take a while to compile and present, hence sometimes long gaps between posts. Content is generally technology related.

I have a particular interest in the history of computing going back to the origins of the digital computer at Bletchley Park in the 1940’s. My intention is to publish a set of articles that document the emergence of digital computers out of necessity during World War II. There are two articles on the site that start that story:

• The Enigma Machine - A write up on how the German Enigma cipher machine works
• Cracking Enigma - Part 1 - How the Polish codebreakers cracked Enigma

Other than that there are write-ups of the various software and technology projects I have built or experimented with. I enjoy coding in Go, so most of the software projects are written in Go.

Watch this space for more codebreaking, Go and retro computing content.

If you enjoy any of this content and want to show your appreciation, you can do so via Ko-Fi!
