Alan Mellor

Starting from age 12, Alan Mellor has four decades of experience developing software in various companies, startups and as a freelancer.

From a humble Sinclair ZX81 home computer with 1k of RAM, Alan has progressed to creating systems for industrial, defence, e-commerce, games and mobile phones.

Some you may have heard of: Nokia Bounce, The Ericsson R380s smartphone, The Red Arrows flight simulator from 1985 and Fun School 2. All had Alan's code in them. Other code sits there quietly, doing its thing unnoticed. Yet more has been consigned to the great /dev/null of history.

More recently, Alan has been involved with training UK Level 4 Apprentices. He has designed and delivered content that hopefully helps 'switch the light on' about programming.

Alan also enjoys dabbling variously with guitars, electronics, videography and cheeseboards. You just can't beat a great Roquefort with Rioja.
