After graduating from The Open University with a Postgraduate diploma in Advanced Networking, I decided to undertake the associated MSc comprising digital forensics and a professional project.

I am a self-employed consultant and tutor in ICT with focus on networking and security.

I offer services in the following areas:

• Commercial and personal website creation, setup, installation and configuration
• Web software (vBulletin, phpBB, WordPress, Google Apps, Oscommerce and more.)
• Detection, Investigation, mitigation and prevention of attacks.
• SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
• *Nix (Linux, FreeBSD) system administration and configuration.
• Networking including routing, switching, troubleshooting and design.
• L.A.M.P (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) architectures.
• File and data recovery
• Security policy
• And more...

I created, operate and coordinate a research project to attempt to increase accessibility of electronic materials for individuals of all ability, regardless of whether 'disability' is present.

With the help of colleagues specialising in sociology and psychology, it has been possible to demonstrate several different models of reading, accessing and retention of information, and through that have been able to look at several preset and free-form approaches to material manipulation.

In my free time, I sit on my villages committee and spend opportunities helping organise, set-up and supervise events of differing types.
