Work History Narrative
September 1969 - June 1976
Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Cheltenham
In my first job after University, I was employed to develop
applications for the processing and decryption of data derived from
the interception of communications on behalf of Her Majesty's
Government. My entry level grade was as a Scientific Officer (SO);
and I was promoted in 1973 to Higher Scientific Officer (HSO) which
is equivalent currently to Grade 9 in the Civil Service.
I programmed using IBM Fortran, PL/1, and assembler, on IBM 360 and
370 mainframes under MVT and MVS operating systems, with batch program
entry, and remote access using IBM 3270 terminals and TSO (Time
Sharing Option). The TSO system supported an interactive PL/1
compiler for debugging.
1985 - 2000
Self-employed consultant
After a short career break, I began to undertake self-employed work
from home in 1985 as an independent consultant. I've chosen to
acquire new skills and undertake work only on tasks I've enjoyed.
The tasks I've undertaken are as follows:
October 1985 - October 1996
During this period, I decided to acquire modern computing skills by
developing a range of packages for my own use. I started with
software for the Amstrad PCW, using Mallard Basic, and a CP/M 8088
assembler, and then from 1988 onwards for 8086 Intel XT/AT computers,
using dBase II and III, and the A86 8086 assembler. To support my
work I implemented a LAN in my home office using 10Base2 Ethernet and
TCP/IP which currently connects 4 Pentium platforms running
Win95/Win98 and NT 4.0 workstation. Later in this period I developed
a range of BBS packages (see below) for myself and others to use,
using C, C++, and Visual Basic.
August 1994 - January 1995
Wrox Press Ltd, Birmingham
This task was for the technical review of the Wrox publication:
The
Revolutionary Guide to Assembler, the technical review and editing of
the Wrox publication:
Assembly Language MasterClass, and the
drafting of a chapter of approximately 20 pages for the Wrox
publication:
The Revolutionary Guide to Bitmapped Graphics.
The work also included blue print proof reading and correction of the
assembler code fragments within
Assembly Language Masterclass.
October 1996 - March 1997
TASS Management, London
This task was for the enhancement of a suite of
Visual Basic/C++
financial derivatives performance analysis and portfolio
optimisation packages with ODBC retrieval from MS Access data bases,
the major work being on extending and optimizing a Dynamic Link
Library (DLL) in C++. The development was carried out in my office
at home on a Win95 Pentium based system.
January 1994 - June 1999
Bulletin Board Service (BBS)
BBS systems provide worldwide communications for individual users who
choose not to exploit the Internet. Access is via the Public
Services Telephony Network (PSTN) using national and international
direct dialup. In this period I managed and operated a non-commercial
BBS as part of the FidoNet network, for which I acquired in-depth
knowledge of communications software and modem operation, and I had
to learn how to liaise with other BBS System Operators (SysOps)
throughout the world to ensure a reliable service for the customers.
January 1998 - current
I am engaged in Genealogical research as a hobby and over this period have
been responsible for generating, and maintaining over the Internet,
genealogical reference sources for Derbyshire, Gloucestershire and
Herefordshire as part of the GENealogical Information Service for the
UK and Ireland (GENUKI). Most of my development work during this
period has been in web page generation from database records, using
C, C++ and dBase IV programming languages.
May 2005 - current
I have continued in the same vein as above, but have now added MySQL,
PHP, and the Perl language to my programming repertoire.
