His career has covered both shrink wrapped applications and in-house systems with the past 7 years focusing on grid-based distributed systems in the Finance industry. When not attached to a keyboard and screen he has a wife and four children to entertain, dips his toe in the local swimming pool and provides the commentary for the annual Godmanchester Gala Day Duck Race.\\ \\ **Email**:gort@cix.co.uk\\ \\ [[2013:Robust Software – Dotting the I’s and Crossing the T’s]]\\ \\
