Hello Steemit! I'm Paul from the UK
My name is Paul Thompson...
Just getting the hang of Steemit via my first post and trying to understand how the site works! I'm a software engineer from the UK and I'm also interested in photography, walking/hiking, technology and business topics.
My Details
- Age 45
- Software Engineer
What I like
I enjoy football (soccer!), baseball, snooker and some other sports, not that I play them anymore, just watching! Love interesting stories either in print or via films/TV, especially stuff that makes you think (or makes your brain hurt!). Some lovely places to walk here in England too which I enjoy. Also love researching software and technology issues outside of work for personal projects and development as well as topics in entrepreneurship.
What I code
Aside from personal projects I write scientific/analysis software for a global engineering organisation. Mainly work using C++, Java, and recently Go! My personal projects are more web related with PHP / Wordpress and the like!
A Bit more about me
I dable in currency / forex trading but only on a hobby basis. I enjoy the technology side of crypto such as Smart Contracts as well as the potential they obviously offer from the currency perspective.
Thanks for reading!
