I am a senior information security consultant - and mostly I stop banks and global multinationals being hacked. I develop security policies and procedures and manage security projects, but I also enjoy a bit of hands on wardriving, ethical hacking and full on attacks (including physical penetration of datacentres. Damn good fun)

And although I work for an accountancy firm - one of the big four that still has a good reputation, you may have heard of us...Ernst & Young - my background is in engineering and computing: nearly 28 years designing computer networks, programming and troubleshooting, a degree in Electronic Engineering and various qualifications in Irix, Solaris, Linux, Cisco, Symbol, Telxon and Checkpoint products.

On an amateur basis I help design websites for small businesses.

Although all I want to do is be a famous rock guitar player<sigh>
