C T Foster

The author gained a PhD from Keele University, England before embarking on a career as a lecturer in Higher Education.

After moving from teaching into a civil engineering role he discovered that a more profitable future could be secured if you could convince your manager that you knew something about an emerging technology called “computing".

This simple ruse provided a steady income for the next thirty-five years as the role evolved from DOS command-line to cloud data centers. During that period the author designed, operated and managed IT systems across a range of industries including manufacturing, retail and education.

The author is currently retired and living in Bedfordshire, England, enjoying an untokenised life with his wife, extended family and friends.
