Places I’ve Worked
The list below includes most of the companies I’ve worked for (or at) during my career.
Some engagements were as short as one day, while the most effort-days expended was with EDS for about six years. The longest elapsed period was at Lancashire Constabulary (my favourite workplace), where in 2019 I helped in the replacement of systems I’d previously assisted in deploying in 2010.
