For those of you who are interested, I studied pure mathematics and computer science at the University of Sydney in the early 1980s, and did an honours thesis on computer music. I graduated with a University Medal and went on to do a Masters of Finance at Macquarie University.

Although I did some coding in part time jobs in my final years at university (in C and occasionally Perl plus some SQL), I have not been involved in software development for most of my career, as my focus was on IT strategy and management consulting. In recent years, I have started coding again, mainly for fun (and maybe profit?) I started by learning data science (using Python and R) and have also built an iOS app in Swift.

In 2020 I decided to learn how to create modern web sites and apps. I started by learning Javascript and Typescript early in 2020. Then I picked up React and Gatsby. I run a management consulting company called Hello Tham. The website used to be in Wordpress, but I converted it to Gatsby, Bulma and Netlify CMS hosted on Netlify.
