About

J2EE Developer with 8 years experience, mainly in financial services. I'm also interested in analytics, particularly algorithms and simulation.

I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to English grammar and really enjoy when my own grammar is corrected (correctly), even if it irks me for that initial few seconds.
