What is my day jobDay Job - I'm a computer programmer and 'Business Intelligence' specialist currently providing some consultancy for the RAC in the UK. Dull as it sounds, it can be fascinating work. I started programming when I was 7 and I've always just loved it. It's really a hobby that someone wants to pay me for, so I consider myself to be very lucky.
What is my passion projectI'm going to go for two:
1) My family of three lovely children (all boys) and my wonderful wife. They are my alpha to omega, apart from:
2) Our family project of Standeazy, which is a credit card sized phone stand that my wife and I, along with my Dad have been working on as a 'hobby' project now for the last six years. I have often wanted to have my phone stand up, either to watch something, or have a Skype chat, take a photo, etc. and, prior to our project, I have never had a stand with me as they ones that I had bought were always a little too bulky to just keep in my pocket and so I'd end up leaning the phone against a glass or a mug or something and it would often slide down. My Dad and I designed over many iterations a credit card sized stand which we produce and now sell. It's on it's third iteration with the fourth iteration now the subject of our
Kickstarter campaign. Who knows if we'll be successful as we've never attempted anything like this before, but it's all a learning experience and good fun.
