Hi there !
My name is Simon and I am from
the old dark as Dave calls it
![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
(Southern England in the United Kingdom)
I am an experienced software and hardware engineer at all levels and various areas including automotive engine management, factory automation, prison security and entertainment industries (Lighting and sound).
I currently work for a group of night clubs here in england where I maintain, design, install, manage all aspects of the technology used.
I have designed various hardware and software we use here for DMX Lighting, Video display, laser control and point of sale.
I started in hardware in the early 80's but got fed up of waiting for software only engineers to do their job so I ended up learning software too so now I am a jack of all trades !
My hobbies include cars and high power lasers !
Great to be here and part of the Dave appreciation club and I have made it my mission to watch all of Dave's videos and meet him before I die
