Home

Thanks for dropping by. My name's Jonathan, I'm a Christian and I'm a computer geek. I hold a Computer Science degree from the University of Cambridge and am currently doing a combination of consulting and travel, the first to fund the second. I am one of the core developers of the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler and the Parrot Virtual Machine.

My areas of interest include compilers and virtual machines, programming language design, type systems and server side web development. I'm also interested in linguistics and its implications for the design and teaching of programming languages.

When I'm not working, hacking or studying, I enjoy hiking, planning future travels, watching movies and spending time with friends.

What's New?

I am available for consultancy work and there's a page about that. I have published an e-book about my trip to Scandinavia and am working on one about my trip to China. Some of my latest photography shows China and Tibet and Israel. My e-book and photos are available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license.
