WHAT’S YOUR OFFICIAL JOB TITLE?

I’m a Senior Support Engineer.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

I have lived in Chingford, East London for nearly 30 years now.

DESCRIBE YOUR ROLE WITHIN THE COMPANY.

I am part of the service desk team that provides third-line support to our clients, dealing with complex and business critical issues. I also support the Junior Engineers with my old-man experience 🙂

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?

I’m very lucky to be working with such a great team of fun, knowledgeable and hard working individuals.

WHAT JOB WOULD YOU DO IF YOU DIDN’T WORK IN IT SUPPORT?

I always wanted to be a writer, particularly of science fiction or fantasy. I find a great deal of enjoyment out of fleshing out a totally fictional world and making it as deep and as believable as possible. Unfortunately, I am somewhat of a perfectionist in this regards and never consider my writing to be “good to go.” Or perhaps I’m just a coward!

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE FILM?

That’s tough, as I love a lot of films and what would be top may simply be determined by what mood I’m in. If I had to make a choice, I guess it would have to be Star Wars (the original, of course), as I never tire of it and it had a massive impact on my childhood and development.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?

A choice between a good fillet steak or mother’s home-made meatballs.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES OR INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF WORK?

Would playing with computers be too obvious? I mentioned writing already. Does beer count as a hobby? Watching TV shows and movies and then endlessly discussing them afterwards? Yes, I am a nerd!

WHAT SONG BEST DESCRIBES YOU?

Now that’s not something I’ve ever stopped to consider before. I guess “God Only Knows,” would be appropriate, because I sure don’t!

TEA OR COFFEE?

Can’t stand either, I’m afraid. I hate tea less than coffee, though.

IF YOU COULD TAKE ONE ITEM TO A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

A helicopter.

WHAT IS YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE?

Bad 80’s action movies. Segal, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger. So many terrible films, but somehow so entertaining.

FINALLY, WHICH SUPER POWER WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Mind-control. It makes world domination so much easier.
