Hi, thanks for visiting.

For readers who don’t know me already I’m Chris Swan – 38 years old, and living in the UK. When I’m not working or blogging I like to spend my time shooting at stuff, riding/driving fast vehicles and throwing myself down steep inclines covered in snow. I’ve been known to whack small white balls with big metal clubs, but I’m not awfully good at it. I also enjoy good food (and cooking it) and good wine/port/bourbon (in fact pretty much most things that taste nice with alcohol in them). I’m a keen fan of (home) cinema, prog rock and SciFi.

I have had a keen interest in technology since being a small kid, and when I left the Royal Navy in 2000 for a career in IT with a .com startup I lost a hobby and turned it into my day job. These days I’m CTO of a boutique tech M&A advisory firm, having spent most of the last decade working with emerging technology at a large bank. I tend to be a jack of all trades, and try to be master of some, with cloud computing being the hot topic of the moment.
