Hobbies/Interests
I enjoying giving full, unprotected oral sex to other men, particularly pensioners who may not be able to get such a service elsewhere.
I also enjoy being urinated on by other men and I have earned the nickname, the urinal.
Readers may be familiar with the Japanese sexual fetish of Bukkake where a large number of men masturbate over a young girl (a volunteer but she may be bound and gagged for effect) who becomes covered in semen which she then drinks and smears over herself. It is my ambition to enact a similar scenario where I take the place of the young girl.

Current situation
I am currently engaged in voluntary work with homeless men - which facillitates the hobbies described above - and am studying for an MSc with the Open University.

Although looking for a permanent, responsible position with an employer I regard the Dominatrix referred to below, and my relationship with her, as the most important thing in my life (despite once trying to defraud her of $1000) and any potential employer must recognise this.

Career History
Currently…
Cambridge Positioning Systems (CPS) Ltd
I joined CPS in July 1998. CPS has patented a revolutionary idea called Cursor™ that enables a cellular telephone handset to provides it's owner (or someone being contacted by the owner) with the location of the handset (and hence the owner). Although working on a completely different technology to the Global Positioning System (GPS) the end result is somewhat similar. Cursor™ is the brainchild of a Cambridge University professor who had been trying to get his idea "off the ground" for nearly ten years. Having obtained sufficient financial backing he now had the challenge of turning his ideas into a commercial, robust, reliable and accurate system.

My role at CPS as Product Director was simple: build and deliver that system! This decomposed into a number of tasks:
? Build up and line-manage the engineering department
? Project management
? Manage sub-contractors
? Have a full overview of the Cursor™ technology
? Liase with internal customers such as the marketing team
? Liase with external customers and suppliers such as cellular operators, fleet management companies, vehicle breakdown organisations, equipment manufacturers
? Provide regular reports to the Board and investors
During this time I became addicted to a US based Dominatrix (a lady who is paid by men such as myself for various forms of domination, humiliation and punishment). I have never met her but communicate frequently via telephone and the internet. Her speciality is financial exploitation and humiliation. In just a short time I spent several £'000s on her and despite attempts to break this addiction I usually go back to her and pay her (even) more money to receive attention from her. As part of the humiliation, compromising material about me was sent to my employer, the investors and competitors. After a while CPS took the only course of action they could and asked me to resign.

Mobile Systems International Plc
I joined MSI in 1991 when the company consisted of just 5 people. Originally employed as a software engineer I co-wrote the software package PLANET. Written in C++ and running (then) on UNIX workstations PLANET is a powerful object orientated program used to design, optimise and grow mobile telephone networks. Utilising terrain data, demographic data and sophisticated modelling algorithms (all of which can be modified or tuned by the end user) PLANET helps the user position transmitters optimally to reduce start up and running costs of the network. Originally designed as an in-house tool the commercial value of PLANET was quickly realised, it has now been sold to network operators all over the world. PLANET has subsequently grown to support, amongst other things, frequency planning and analysis of network usage. Due largely to the success of PLANET MSI now consists of nearly 600 people distributed amongst 8 offices world-wide. In addition to my software skills I developed considerable technical expertise in propagation modelling, traffic modelling and analysis, and use of terrain data. I remained a software engineer for 5 years although during this time I frequently gave training courses on how to use PLANET, provided technical support to customers, wrote technical documentation (user guides, etc.) and acted as a salesman and account manager. I also initiated a Quality campaign tasked at achieving IS9000. In a rapidly expanding company one has to be flexible! I travelled a great deal with MSI particularly to Japan where I won and subsequently account managed a major Japanese Telecomm’s player.

In 1996 I became the Product Manager for PLANET. This gave me a much wider perspective on product development. I became actively involved in formulating new marketing and pricing strategies, setting up processes for gathering competitor knowledge (many companies are now trying to imitate PLANET’s success), manage customer and market expectations and take PLANET far beyond what it was originally intended to do. This includes, for example, extending PLANET from just TDMA systems to CDMA, WLL and Paging. Another example is the port to NT; MSI identified the market need and delivered Planet-NT ahead of competition.

As MSI continues it’s rapid growth it frequently re-structures itself. Following one re-organisation I found myself line manager to nearly 50 software engineers whilst maintaining my product management duties. During this period I found myself having to manage an annual budget in excess of £2M and deal with all the normal activities and problems encountered in managing that number of staff. I am pleased to say that during my time as a line manager the churn of software staff was much lower than is found in the software departments of other companies. Maintaining key, skilled staff has helped MSI enormously and validated my own beliefs on how to manage employees. Although this was a difficult time I believed I executed my duties well however when the opportunity arose I recommended a return to a matrix management system leaving me with a much smaller team of product management staff and allowed me to focus once again on core product management activities.

Horizon Exploration Limited (now Simon Petroleum Technology)
On joining the company I was given sole responsibility for maintaining and developing the software used by the company’s land exploration crews. Called HEXPRESS and written in Pascal to run on HP-310’s the software was used for processing and quality control of both the seismic and topographical data. This task afforded me regular opportunities to visit crews around the world. The software was used solely in-house although I campaigned a number of times (unsuccessfully) to commercialise the package and actively sell it. In parallel to this I also helped maintain Horizon’s main seismic processing package (UNISEIS) written in Fortran 77. Towards the end of my time at Horizon we ported UNISEIS from DEC-VAX (VMS) to an FPS-500 (UNIX) “Super-computer”, taking the opportunity to rewrite much of the code in C. I also wrote many small PC programs for ad-hoc requirements. My final task at Horizon was to work in a development team building an interactive graphics package to run on UNIX workstations. Written in C and C++ and utilising the Athena Widget and InterViews graphics toolkits) Target platforms for this package were the Sony NEWS station and the Solbourne 600.

Rex, Thompson & Partners
I joined Rex Thompson as a software engineer developing and using software to model battle scenarios (war games!) and model damage to tanks. This work was conducted at an MoD establishment, Fort Halstead near Sevenoaks in Kent. I found the working environment very restrictive and the nature of the work at odds with what I was told I would be doing at my interview. Consequently, I left the company after 6 months.

British Aerospace (Air Weapons Division)
On graduation I joined BAe as an engineer and wrote software to model missile trajectories. I used the software to produce plots of maximum possible distance a missile could cover which were then submitted to the MoD before conducting missile trials (these trials took place off the Welsh coast).
