About Me / This Site

I’m an integration project lead 1, who still codes and spent the first part of his career in support.

I manage and solve complex IT integration problems for both small and large companies, with a speciality in financial systems, along with my long-time colleagues at LDCvia

This site is just a traditional blog, detailing stuff I have learnt or want to share about the subjects that interest me at any given time. I also use it as my way of giving back to the internet for all it gives me, and frankly, it help clients vet me to see if I can back up my CV

In case you were wondering where ‘stickfight’ came from, when I used to do Epee fencing in the UK. I ended up quite good from an amateur point of view (21st in England), but I never had the elegance and style of most fencers. My bouts were never a ‘conversation between two blades’ and more a ‘stickfight’.

I liked the name and can even spell it.

My CV is HERE

Also, I do actually smile once in a while
