Being a trained scientist with a doctorate in theoretical physics, and having worked maintaining and developing scientific software, I fill a niche in scientific software development in that I have an appreciation and understanding of the issues--and their solutions--arising in both the IT and scientific worlds. I have experience in many programming languages including C, Perl, Python, Matlab and Fortran; and have used many of these in a parallel computing environment. I am also experienced in developing Open Source Software and working on projects distributed across geographic boundaries.

As part of the Hannover Montessori School's wish to develop the digital compentence of its pupils, I was hired on a part time basis (two hours of contact time per week) to impart some of my IT knowledge to a select group of interested pupils. During these sessions the group investigated various topics in computing and IT, including: details of computer hardware; how a CPU performs calculations; programming; blogging platforms; Linux; system administration; wikis; networking; IT security.
