I have spent the last few years between London and New Delhi (which is where I was born, and where I have spent most of the last 23 years). For the geographically challenged, Delhi is the capital of India, and home to about 12 million people. At the moment it's all London, and is likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future...

I took an early liking to computers & technology in general, at some point I taught myself / studied some C, C++, Java, and various XML-related standards amongst others. After a year of a part-time (during college, which was a BSc in Management) job I decided I didn't really want to spend too much time in a cubicle banging away at a keyboard... the only thing that's different now is the cubicle - I don't even have one of those! I now live & work in south-west London (live: Kingston, work: Twickenham), where I provide IT infrastructure & security services to SMEs around the West-London, this part of Greater London and the Slough / Heathrow area.

One of my earliest passions is automobiles -of every size, shape and make! Being a big fan of Formula 1, I have dedicated a part of my site to my favorite team and driver - Scuderia Marlboro Ferrari and Michael Schumacher. Apart from watching F1 (the continuation of which will now depend on what F1 looks like without the Schum), I like to spend my spare time reading, traveling, taking pictures, and rock climbing. Like to but don't always get up to much, so at various points it's city exploration, sofa-based vegetativeness, recently I even went hiking in the west sussex downs - imagine that.
