My name is Martin Gill and my middle initial is 'S', hence the name of this site. I was born in Germany to British and German parents.

I have spent most of my early life following my parents around Europe and have lived in Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

I graduated with honours from Cranfield University 2:1 degree in Software Engineering. In recent times I've earned a Certificate of Natural Sciences from the Open University. Hurray… more letters after my name

My interests, amongst others, include working and playing on/with computers, reading and playing Dungeons and Dragons role playing games with my friends and studying with the Open University.

I don't do much sport myself, but I am interested in Fencing and Ice Hockey. I've recently started going to the gym in an effort to get my weight down.

My first job was the design and development of proof-of-concept software for the defence industry, design and development of Homeland Security & Force Protection command and control systems, as well as work on the Type-45 Anti-Air Warfare destroyer's command and control system.

I currently work for SDL, a Maidenhead based translation specialist, where I write software to aid machine assisted translation.

I currently live in west London, UK.
