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 Parrot Virtual Machine and the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler.

My areas of interest include compilers and virtual machines, programming language design, type systems and server side web development, the last of these being what I currently make most of my money doing but also increasingly boring me.

When I'm not studying, working or hacking I enjoy writing songs, walking, 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.

Photo Of The Week

The stunning St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral in Kiev, capital of Ukraine. The inside is at least as amazing, but photography is forbidden.

Thanks For Visiting

Thanks for taking the time to check out my page, and have a great day. :-)
