About me: 

I've been programming 
since 1975 after being introduced 
to the binary numbering system 
and George Boole a few years earlier 
whilst at grammar school in England. 

In 1980 I completed my PhD in Chemistry 
using one of the world's first personal 
computers (before Microsoft) to analyze my results. 

Realising that computer science 
interested me far more than chemistry, 
I completed an MSc in Computer Science
in 1988, specialising in Expert Systems and AI. 

Now, after 50 years studying computer science
and programming, I've learned a lot, 
and I'm still learning. 

After teaching Computer Science and Programming 
for over twenty years, and developing 
one of the first university transfer courses 
in Python Programming,
I'm now focused on Android app development 
using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, 
integrating Google's Gemini APIs.
