Quotes

After completing a degree in Computer Science in 1988, I started my career as a software developer. I realized after a few years of fighting with development tools that writing software was not for me so made a move into project management. For a large part of my career, I worked for a software company that I set up with my family which specialized in EDI. Here I learned everything about developing and delivering software products with direct responsibility for the company's product development teams. In this role I combined project management and business analysis to ensure I kept close to the development of the products. I also learnt about running and building a small business.

I joined PortSwigger in the middle of 2018 as the Technical Product Manager for the Burp Suite Enterprise Edition product. I found this role a perfect match to my career so far as it combined the project management and business analysis skills I have developed, as well as my love for product development.

What would your superhero power be and why?
