Description
Personal Info
My name's Tom Gilbert, I live in London, England, I'm 29, and I work for Deutsche Bank, where I am the Global Head of Web Infrastructure Engineering. My specialities are Perl, Linux/UNIX, Apache, J2EE, Weblogic and basically gluing together+automating large application and infrastructures. That's me in the picture on the right there, although it goes back a few years now ;)
This is my fifth job. Previously I was with Finetix as an OSS/Unix consultant, and before that - Killik and Co, a stockbrokers in the city working as their linux guru, hired to bring a large project to completion. Before that, a consultant for ID-Pro, whose UK operation sadly went bust in October 2000, and before that I worked for British American Tobacco. Prior to that I was at the University of Bath, where I got myself an honours degree in Chemistry.
Me and computers
I've always been interested in computers, and initially toyed around with an Amstrad CPU464 when I was a kid, writing dumb little programs in BASIC. Then I got to play with some BBC model B's at school (although I think we pretty much only played elite and tried to network sniff the teacher's password). I never really had good access to a computer again until 1997, when I bought myself a PC. Thinking back, that's about the time I stopped playing sports, lost my healthy tan, and started going outside less ;-)
