Biography

Primary schooling in India, Secondary, Aberdeen.
Graduated from Gray's School of Art in Drawing & Painting.
Lectured in Art & Design ( 12 yrs ) - Aberdeen College of Commerce, then through web design to programming which is how I earn my keep these days.
I consider what defines me is my amateur musician status, focussing on Christian worship music, "Vigils" - praying with music. That's "my thing".
I am married (30+ yrs) - with two grown up children. A Solicitor, and an Electronics Engineer.

Recently returned from eighteen months secondment to MediCAL unit in Forresterhill, working on the Joint Medical Visualisation Project [JMVP] as the Project Co-ordinator.

Currently collaborating with Department of Ophthalmology, Foresterhill, developing new technology for training in Ophthalmic Ultrasound Scanning. And, on standby to Subsea Technologies Ltd. to assist with CAD rendering. I am also exploring algorithmic music generation in C/C++. Apart from that, routine web-team work.

Vigils

Vigils are like "Open mic" - or jam sessions; - the musicians are freed from the constraints of accompanying congregational singing, and free to simply use their musical skills as an offering to God.
