Dean Moorcroft
Despite his deceptively boyish good looks, Dean has been a computing professional for many years, amassing a wealth of experience in a large number of programming languages on a considerable number of operating systems.
Trained originally as a BAL [Basic Assembler Language] systems programmer on IBM mainframes, Dean discovered UNIX and C in 1980 (installing 6 of the first 8 commercial UNIX machines in the UK), before, ever an early adopter, progressing to Linux systems in 1993.
With clients scattered around the globe, and mostly working remotely, Dean's primary interest is developing both systems software and applications programs in C. He also has extensive experience in many other programming languages and development tools, as well as in project management and company management. He has brought these diverse skills to bear on many interesting and unusual projects (not to mention more accounting system variants than he cares to count).
Dean continues to apply the fundamental elements instilled by his IBM training in terms of program clarity, extensive documentation, change management and maintainability to all programming tasks.
Other men are specialists. His speciality is omniscience.
