Experience
Roots & Routes
I teach myself how to code in BASIC in my bedroom on a old Spectravideo, building games, mandelbrot set simulations and 3D wireframe worlds.
Unaware of being neurodivergent, school is becoming increasingly challenging. I begin self learning and continuous learning instead.
Diamond Soft
Internship
Novel NetWare Systems administration / games testing.
Diamond Soft was a relatively small software distribution business where I learned the basics about product lifecycle management, support, systems management, software development practices, sales and marketing.
A.D.E.
Delphi DMS Developer
A.D.E. is where I learned object oriented programming in Borland Delphi, while building SQL classes and libraries, and defining the UI style for a document management system running on Oracle and used by a major Dutch energy provider.
I decide to move to Frankfurt, Germany.
SIEMENS AG
Sectors: Global, Conglomerate, Rail, Civil Engineering, Technology, Industrial Automation
Plan Manager
Plan Manager for the Cologne-Rhine/Main line (Neubaustrecke (NBS) Köln-Rhein/Main) high speed rail project.
(Cybersecurity) Developer
Developed and deployed a custom print service for industrial plotters.
Developed and deployed solutions and services for Step7 & SiMatic field engineers.
Developed and deployed a security policy monitoring, visualisation and reporting tool.
Discovered and published vulnerabilities and exploits in Enterprise software.
Technology Consultant
Managing the technical merger of Demag with Siemens in the UK.
As a challenge to myself, within 48 hours, I manually reverse engineer a session security encryption algorithm used by a popular web content management platform and prove hundreds of websites used by a major record label vulnerable to hacking.
I discover and publish a major cybersecurity vulnerability in Citrix Metaframe and Microsoft Windows NT Server.
My nights are spent doing deep dives into evolutionary biology, physics, philosophy and web development. I build MagnaBlog, a security hardened Web Content Management System, complete with plugin capability, templating engine, URL shortening, image processing and sophisticated analytics, running my website.
I return to the Netherlands and notice many fascinating changes to the culture. The power information has over people becomes palpably clear. My autism seems to provide unique advantages.
The world seems to grow larger and smaller at the same time.
The brilliant folks at Michael Bailey Associates connect me with IBM.
