I am Steve Kerrison. I am a postgraduate student in the Microelectronics Research Group at the University of Bristol, researching for a PhD in Computer Science, specifically in the area of software power optimisation. I have a 1st Class MEng in Computer Systems Engineering (Computer Science & Electronics) from the University of Bristol.
I am also a self employed web developer and systems administrator with over 5 years of experience in developing for high traffic environments, principally within the Unix/Apache/PHP/MySQL stack, but also with experience in nginx and memcached. In addition I have an appreciation of infrastructure issues that are overlooked by those with less experience. I am (as is abundantly clear from this page) not a graphic designer. Graphic design and web development are two distinct roles, but one cannot function well without the other.
I look after systems and services for BOXFX, a video production & graphics design company, as well as HEXUS, an online technology publication with millions of monthly visits. I also developed & maintain my research group's website in cooperation with a fellow PhD student.
Over the past year I've worked on the Linux driver for the PCTV nanoStick T2 290e; a USB DVB-T2 (Freeview HD) tuner.
