Andrew Mayo has been involved in IT, both in software and hardware roles, for enough years to have worked through the tail-end of the punched card and paper tape era, and the subsequent invention of the PC. Currently he's working on the evolution of 1E's Tachyon solution, looking in depth at both attack and defense strategies, and the evolution of the threat landscape. Previously Team Lead for the AppClarity project, he's worked previously in various verticals including healthcare, finance and ERP. When he's not wrangling with databases, he enjoys playing piano and hiking, especially when the destination is one of England's picturesque pubs.
