About Rob Murphy

Update September 13th 2019 - almost three years since my last update, I've never been good at this sort of thing. Big changes recently, had a bit of a rebrand and now operate as "geekydog, a division of Brynner Industries Ltd". Managed to convince Zeus the dog to give up his image rights for the logo in return for lots of sausages, so its win-win all round! And now, back to the summary. Hard to believe given my youthful good looks, but I've been in this lark for over 30 years now (I had hair when I started, honest.) My specialities these days are mainly network security (I do love intercepting something dodgy, its the Essex boy in me you see), I still do a load of WatchGuard stuff and have been certified since 2002. Programming-wise I tend to stick to c# now, and am fully conversant with MVC3/4/5, also doing a lot of work with nopCommerce these days, a very good.NET ecommerce platform, highly recommended. I still keep my hand in where Windows Server/Exchange Server and so on are concerned with my hosting platform, pretty much given up on VMS and Unix nowadays but hey, it's all stored in the brain somewhere so I'm sure I could drag the knowledge out if need be -) Basically though, I do a bit of everything so if you need an ear to bend about anything technical give me a nudge and I'll buy you a beer, and if we eventually do business I may even stretch to a curry as long as you don't eat all the bhajis. Totally irrelevant fact: I was the drummer in Sparkling Rain back in the late 80s. What do you mean you never heard of them? We were huge, honest guv.
