I am a retired Management Information Systems Specialist who has worked in Asia, mostly Indonesia, on a variety of
development projects. 
A while back I was part of an EC mission in The Philippines,
before that I was working in The Maldives developing a GIS to help planning and regional
development. Before that I was working with UNHCR in Timor
and
before that in The Bahamas, developing a GIS to allow
speedy development decisions through environmental impact assessments.
Other work includes creating GIS's for
conservation projects in West Papua and Sulawesi with WWF, and the setting up of GIS units for
land use planning throughout Indonesia.
Earlier work includes the development of computer models for irrigation and flood control.
Almost all projects have included setting up a wide range of management
information systems, database systems and training.
Before Indonesia I worked in management, computer training, ergonomics, medical physics and engineering. I started off with a degree in engineering in the late 1960's, that was when it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a working class youth to get into university ;-)
Nowadays I spend most of my time pottering around on the computer and taking a few photographs.
I also like to pass my time learning the fiddle and concertina. Mostly I play Northumbrian and Irish traditional music and publish a
tunebook of them.
I suspect that my websites expressing my anti-war, anti-Israel, music and photography interests might give the wrong impression. I'm a quiet guy who leads a hermit-like life. I like to think I'm still a serious consultant with expertise and achievements in several fields, apart from those deviant interests ;-).
