I do system integration and occasional web development for a day job - right now I'm integrating and scheduling critical aviation data feeds for a specialist company that provides briefing and alert services to logistics and airlines. One of our customers was the only european airline able to get it's customers to their destinations on 2 days last year, which is pretty cool (all the others had their entire fleets grounded and customers stuck in airports).

We get to deal with the UK Met Office a lot, and they use a lot of perl - in fact we should have a bunch come to Devon and Cornwall Perl mongers first technical meeting in the coming weeks.

My Background is BSc Honours degree in Computer Systems and Networks, with Diploma in Computer Studies before that.

Been doing mostly perl for about 6 years with the occasional bit of ASP, PHP and other oddities.

Previous jobs meant using webservices and custom stuff to connect stock management systems to websites, and various client/server applications, as well as a large chunk of ecommerce and content management.
