I am a software engineer in London, England.

I just started working for the BBC Rapid Application Development unit.

I created and maintain the Shotlister news video cataloguing application, which is written in C++ using the Qt framework.

I've also designed and coded lots of web sites, including itn.co.uk, yellowdiva.com, ravenstoneschool.com and previous incarnations of deccaclassics.com and smithgil.co.uk.

My blog since 2001 has been at samdutton.blogspot.com, but there's not much to see. I've also been trying out WordPress:

• Worse than slow
• Chrome is good
• Python is (not) better than C
• Why is Find & Replace so hard?

My CV is available in Word format.

My obfuscated email address is sam.dutton at gmail.com.
