Welcome to my Home Page I am a Senior Enterprise Architect in the Enterprise Architecture Group in Barclays Global Investors, based in London, United Kingdom. I have just taken up this post - more details soon! I am also a published author and speaker, with a particular interest in the role and practice of software architecture. I am a CEng (Chartered Engineer) and FBCS (Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society). My Background I have worked in IT since 1979. Prior to joining M&S, I was an IT consultant for employers including The French Thornton Partnership, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Sybase Professional Services, Praxis and Logica. Over the years I have taken senior roles on projects for a wide range of public and private sector clients. I now work for one of the industry's largest money managers, Barclays Global Investors, as Senior Enterprise Architect. More details soon! You can find out more about me, as well as gaining access to some of my published writing and software, by clicking one of the links to the left of this page. News I have been elected a Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society (FBCS). I was awarded Chartered IT Professional (CITP) status by the British Computer Society, and Chartered Engineer (CEng) status by the Engineering Council UK. I have written an architecture book, Software Systems Architecture : Working With Stakeholders Using Viewpoints and Perspectives, with Eoin Woods. It was published in April 2005 and is in its second reprint. Eoin and I have set up a website for the book, which includes sample chapters, a directory of web resources, a comprehensive bibliography, and reference material on architectural viewpoints and perspectives. You can find links to some white papers I have written here. I have written some (award-winning) free software (published under the GPL) which you can find here.

Swimathon 2008 I Did It! I completed the Swimathon Challenge in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care in April 2008. I swam 2.5km (100 lengths) in 1:19:20, which is about 48 seconds per length. Many thanks to everyone who kindly supported me. The money raised will help fund more than 2,000 Marie Curie Nurses across the UK and will mean that more terminally ill people can have the choice to die at home. You can still sponsor me here. If you are a UK taxpayer an extra 28% will be added to your gift at no extra cost!
