About

I learnt 32 bit ARM (and Thumb) assembly at university, though I forgot most of it afterwards because I never used it outside of academia (I was lucky enough to be taught by Steve Furber - yes, the one who co-designed the BBC Micro and the original ARM microprocessor). Going back to work at a university years later, my main role was to support students in their studies - particularly on the software side. I found myself picking it up again and enjoying doing so.

I primarily write PHP in my job (phpdev.uk), with a bit of Go for command line tools. The nature of what I work on most of the time (web applications) means that I am unlikely to use assembly in production or be paid for it.
