Hi, I'm Dave and I live in London.
I've been a programmer since way back in the last millennium. I've been active in the Perl community for a long time and if you've been to a London Perl Workshop or a European Perl Conference in the last twenty years you may have seen me speak. I blog about Perl at Perl Hacks and about more general technology topics at dev.to.
If you're a Perl programmer, you may have used one of my CPAN modules or read one of my books (Data Munging with Perl, Perl Template Toolkit or Perl Taster). I've recently started running a small independent publishing company, producing ebooks about Perl.
Some of my projects have been of more general interest:

TwittElection wakes up whenever the UK has a general election and helps people to see what their candidates are saying on Twitter.
Line of Succession tracks the line of succession to the British throne over the last two hundred years.
Tower Bridge Data publishes data about upcoming Tower Bridge lifts in various machine-readable formats (because the official site doesn't think that's important).
CPAN Dashboard provides a way for Perl module authors to monitor the various CI services that they are using.

I'm a freelancer. Sometimes I take on longer-term projects, but getting sponsorship would free up more of my time to work on useful projects.
