I started programming on 8080 and 6205 cpus. I have been programming with Embarcadero (Borland) products since Turbo Pascal 3. That is easily over 25 years. I know Pascal, Delphi and Firebird quite well. I have just started dabbling in PHP and MySQL to help friends out.

While studying I built, repaired and created arcade games. My first serious jobs were to create the hardware and software to do Factory control systems, SCADA systems and Point to Point Control Systems for such companies as Philips (in NZ and Oz).

I moved on to Commercial software as it was more lucrative. I have been writing business management and POS software for 15+ years which includes apps and webservices.

I moved to Australia 2 years ago. Although I retired and I was going to write some apps, I got offered a project to write a suite for a small airline. And I accepted it. Since then I keep getting offers that I have to turn down. As I have an obligation to complete my current project.
