 * I have a mind more turbulent than a shoal of herring
 * an interest in every unusual thing.

I used to work freelance helping struggling PhD students understand and respond to problems raised by their supervisors, including conceptual and structural concerns and matters of advanced language usage. This was mainly within the Department of Public Health at University of Sheffield, UK.

I am now a professional software engineer, creating a new web and cloud based system for managing universities, to replace one currently used by over 70% of UK universities.

"[W]e can no more take cognizance of our `height' than you can of your `extra-height'. Even I - who have been in Spaceland, and have had the privilege of understanding for twenty-four hours the meaning of `height' - even I cannot now comprehend it, nor realize it by the sense of sight or by any process of reason; I can but apprehend it by faith." -- Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions
