Originally hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Ian Molyneaux ended up in IT purely by chance after applying for an interesting looking job advertised as "junior computer operator" in the mid '70s. The rest is history; 35 years later, Ian has held many roles in IT but is a techie at heart. His current role is Head of Performance at Intechnica, a software consultancy based in Manchester UK, specializing in .NET development and performance assurance for the enterprise with a strong focus on Cloud. He currently resides in Buckinghamshire, U.K. with wife Sarah, daughter Sasha, and three cats and is trying to get used to the idea of turning 55!
