                In my spare time I enjoy researching technology old and new, recently I have been
                experimenting with functional languages, specifically Clojure, Scala and Haskell,
                and getting into the noSQL mindset of CouchDB. I find that looking at technologies
                that are very different, even to the point of being arcane, than the ones I use
                day-to-day affords me unique insights that help me become a better engineer."""

        The degree also focused on object-oriented design, featuring UML and design patterns. I have found
        this grounding in OO development to be useful in all the programming I have done since then.

        I was taught the fundamentals of a wide range of networking technologies, from Ethernet,
        TCP and UDP to the esoteric telephony protocols PDH and its successor SDH.
        Also on the syllabus was high-level x86 architecture and low-level bus protocols.
        Although there wasn't a great focus on programming, I was introduced to object-oriented
        Java, and wrote a server monitoring system as part of my dissertation.
