About Helen

I started off studying Music, switched to Oceanography then for some reason decided I did like Mathematics after all and ended up doing a PhD in it together with High Performance Computing.  After a couple of years in academic research and lecturing I moved into commercial software development. I spent over 20 years contracting as a Full Stack Java Enterprise developer and have worked for many different companies all over the UK and a little in Europe and North America. I am also an associate lecturer in computing for the Open University. I’m rather fanatical about windsurfing and also wing foiling.
