United Kingdom  I am a scientist by education, now working as a
developer/consultant. My technical interests include flexible
information systems for Visual Analytics and Situational
Awareness, Semantic Web, Distributed Systems, and NoSQL
databases (Apache Cassandra, Neo4J, RDF triple stores).  I also
take a wider interest in agile software development (or rather,
how to build software well, and foster teams that build software
well, rather than getting hung up on a particular methodology
like XP, Scrum, Kanban, Lean etc).  I currently work primarily
in Python, Scala and Java. In the dim and distant past I have
dabbled with C, ARM assembler, BBC Basic, and Fortran 77. Oh,
