I'm Alastair, a software developer based in Cambridge, UK. I work primarily in the Microsoft space with C# and the .NET Framework, but fiddle around with many other technologies and languages such as WiX, PowerShell, and PHP.
I'm the founder of the Cambridge Software Craftsmanship Community (CSCC) , a group set up to promote and encourage professionalism the software industry. Currently we run two meet-ups per month: a round-table discussion on the first Tuesday, and a hands-on session on the third Tuesday.
I'm also a keen amateur bassoonist, playing regularly with the Cambridge Graduate Orchestra and the Huntingdonshire Philharmonic . In 2009, I achieved the DipABRSM in Performance on the instrument. I 'dep' for various ensembles in the Cambridge area including Cambridge Symphonic Winds, the City of Cambridge Symphony Orchestra, and the Uttlesforde orchestra. Contact me if you would like me to play.
