Tim has worked as a software engineer for the past five years on all manner of projects using all sorts or proprietary and non-proprietary software. In his spare time, he does a lot of development using free software tools and programming languages and wherever possible tries to influence his peers to do the same. He started off doing web-development at about 13 using Microsoft Word and producing some truly horrendous results. Happily since then he's seen the light and now use free software tools wherever possible and is happiest when sat in front of a screen full of code.
