Dedicated, hard working technical consultant with many years of experience.

As of September 2013 I am one of the new Topic Advisors on E-E that have been invited on board by the admins as a recognition of our expertise in our associated areas.

As with everything, I am always willing and happy to learn new things so if you believe I've said or done something wrong, please tell me. If you believe I've done something particularly well, please tell the mods and admins :-)

I've held SME/TDA/SA roles for some of the big boys over the years - Microsoft, HP, Siemens, Getronics, 2e2 etc. and I have specialised in Citrix technologies since the late-mid '90s plus Microsoft Exchange and their associated wraparound technologies such as Active Directory.

I also have the dubious honour of having worked in some of the most demanding, security conscious environments you can imagine from government to military to financial so have an intimate understanding of the kind of frustrations these unique environments bring.

I've contributed to many articles and tech blogs over the years although generally preferred to do so anonymously to keep my internet footprint to a minimum.
