About me (Dave Hudson) and this site

Hello, good morning/afternoon/evening* and welcome! (*please delete as appropriate)

I'm an unrepentant geek who loves all things engineering, scientific or otherwise techie. I would say I love maths too, but I should probably leave that to the experts :-)

Me

I've been playing with computers and writing software since I was 9 which is way more years than I care to think about. In that time I've been lucky enough to work on everything from massive scale embedded systems (IoT before anyone called it that) to mainframes, and decentralised systems. Along the way, I built operating systems, network stacks, compilers, and blockchains/distributed ledgers. For a while I also helped design CPU instruction sets.

Lately I've been working with AI, looking at what it takes to build an AI operating system.

That journey has led me all over the world and I've had the privilege of collaborating with some amazing people. I live in North Wales (UK), but for 17 years I "commuted" to Northern California. Now my travels tend to take me to London (UK) and Abu Dhabi (UAE).
