After completing a Physics BSc at Imperial College in London I joined i2 in Cambridge to work on a product called CaseRunner. Since then I have remained with i2, and worked on a variety of different teams and projects.

Previously (when I was not actually studying, of course) I lived with family, who remain in Madeira, Portugal. Mostly I enjoy working with computers, reading, and programming, as you can see from the rest of this site. I also used to solve computer problems and give computing lessons freelance during the school and university holidays to earn a bit of extra cash for the term time. Other hobbies include tennis, badminton, swimming and Scuba diving.

This is my first website, although it is not quite in its original form any longer, having evolved and improved considerably since the first draft. I have since set up a second website which is designed as more of a home page for me, rather than my software. It will probably not be of interest to you, but if you want to have a look, it is at http://www.alex.vallat.name.
