Go career: I started playing when I was at Cambridge University, over 20 years ago, and of course once you have started playing a game as good as Go, you never stop. I now work as a computer programmer at the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk) doing development on Moodle (https://moodle.org).

Go career: I took up go at university and spent a number of years playing as many tournaments as I could until I reached dan level. My growing family meant less tournament go. Instead I have spent more time coaching and encouraging young people to enjoy the game. I have managed the UK's European youth team for ten years.
