I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.
From 2009 - 2010 I was in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

There are lots of educational resources out there but few of them are optimised for small screen viewing.
Having started in computing in the nineteen ninties this sort of look back brings up memories, not all of them good. The syntax of JavaScript was hard to get to grips with, array indices starting at zero was (and is) a pain plus during the browser wars it was tempting to sit back and wait for a winner to emerge (while hoping that it would not be Internet Explorer).
