I am Noel. I was born in Zimbabwe, and that is where I grew up (mostly). Personally I’m a father of four five adorable children and a husband to Karen. Professionally, I am a software engineer with lots of experience in lots of different stuff. I work as a lead developer / systems architect for my own company, Silex Consulting and I run a recruitment business, Silex Resources.
I write software for the web, using PHP and Grails, and in my spare time, I build and sail boats, make jewellery, tinker with electronics, cure meat, and potter in my greenhouse.
