Hi I’m Steve and I would like to Welcome to the site.
My History I have a broad technical background with over 17 years in the telecommunications Industry working in various capacities from engineering to management. I moved from Telecoms to Computer networking in around 1995.
I spent over 10 years training and consulting mainly on networking, Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory. I have a degree in electronics, and my professional accreditation’s include MCSE, MCT and Novel CNE. I was also a chartered engineer and MIEE (not renewed) .
I spent the early part of my career programming in both assembly language and C. In the the early 80 I developed an International telephone traffic monitoring system (hardware and software (8080 assembly language)).
This was in commercial use for several years I also developed several billing systems. one was used for Inter Admin accounting of the telephone traffic and the other for ship to shore radio services.
Both systems were written in C and were in commercial use for several years. Over the last 10 years I have become familiar with PHP, and have used it mainly on my own sites for modify themes.
I initially focused on Python, and have developed several programs that I use for monitoring my own websites,MQTT demo scripts and MQTT test tools.
However I have moved my focus to node-red and JavaScript as I find it much easier and quicker to create working applications.
Thank you for taking the time to visit this site and I hope you enjoy the rest of the site. If you have any comments then please use the contact form and let me know.
Best Regards Steve
