Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIain Wood is a seasoned software engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience and a computing-science background from Newcastle University, currently working as an independent developer from Nha Trang, Vietnam. His career spans hardware test engineering at Sun Microsystems through academic and university roles to modern software development, with deep curiosity across eras of computing—from punched cards and FORTH to JTAG hardware debugging and Clojure systems programming. He favors sustainable, maintainable code and enjoys pushing boundaries with compact, elegant solutions (e.g., few-kilobyte L-systems and string-replacement plant generators) while happily adopting whatever language best fits the problem. Outside code he’s an accomplished diver and underwater photographer and brings uncommon soft skills—diplomacy, relentless question-asking, and a knack for rubber-duck debugging—that make him effective in cross-disciplinary teams.
