I co-wrote a development environment for the PIC microprocessor called "PIC PRESS", which is on sale at my website: www.to-pic.com. I have advanced Spanish, basic German and French. I also possess a US Green Card.
I have enjoyed many experiences in drama (directing, producing, acting and writing) including comedy (member of Cambridge Footlights). I also presented weekly radio show on the university radio channel for four terms. I was president and treasurer of a university Jazz Club, and founder of the Cabaret Society. President, treasurer and academic officer of the Natural Scientists' society and representative for 1A Mathematics lecture course. With sport I like doing a little bit of everything, including sailing, squash, tennis, rowing and football, however I have played in college badminton, hockey, football and tennis teams, and won the Cambridge University Croquet Cup in 2000 |
