After a good couple of years planning to do so, I finally am, I'm blogging, probably a century after the first blogger started. I work as a Software Systems Engineer for a leading UK online directory enquiries company, with a high volume public facing site and B2B products.

I've been working in this field for the last 7 years, progressing from procedural programmer to software engineer / architect. Although I'm an all-round developer I specialise in high volume, performance and availability, and I'm always exploring new "things", if it's a framework, method or design pattern. So expect to read about Coldfusion server optimization and application performance, but also about Coldspring, Reactor, Transfer or ModelGlue.

Oh and be warned, I'm a big aviation enthusiast so the occasional aircraft related subject may pass by.
