A Brief Introduction (to me)

He was resently employed as a System Adminstrator and Perl Programmer. Paul has also worked on embedded Linux systems for a Crane Safety Systems. In past lives he has worked with large SQL databases (education), been a Unix/Linux System Administrator (defence), and developed network managment software (startup).
