When I started my career as a mainframe programmer at Redbridge LBC, I was at the beginning of a story which has unfolded at an astounding pace. It is a chapter which has seen the advent of mobile phones, the internet, big data and a multitude of other technological advancements.

I had, and still have, a great love for technology and the ever-improving opportunities it allows – an evolution where technology only gets better, cheaper and more accessible.
