Who am I?
I'm a co-founder of Pinpoint and so have been here from the very beginning. I started my software development career (relatively) late at the ripe old age of 23. Before that I was an investment manager at a big bank, after completing a degree in Ancient History. Consequently I'm of the belief that a willingness to learn and enjoying what you are doing is more important than a formal education or experience with any particular technology.
Advice for prospective candidates
If you want a 9-5 job, this isn't for you. If you want to be spoon-fed, this isn't for you.
If you want to take responsibility for projects, think on your feet, and be part of a team that's growing fast, this is for you.
I believe intelligent and inquisitive people can turn their hand to virtually anything, so that's what I look for in people.
