Temple is a frustrated mechanic, but never worked out how he could make a living at it so he took a TOPS Cobol programming course in 1986 and has worked with computers ever since. He played his part in introducing PC-CAD in the UK in the late '80's and wrote assembly language programs for CAD too. Temple worked for ICL (now Fujitsu) from 1992, then Steria (now Sopra Steria), moved into Project Management and never really got away from it - delivering mostly infrastructure-based projects to around eighteen Government and Public Sector organisations. He has been a Local Advisor in the Eden Academy of special schools since 2007, focusing on ICT strategy and the use of computers in the classroom - when he discovered Google Apps for Education and has been sharing his enthusiasm for the GSuite platform ever since. Temple has accumulated various "badges" during his career - Postgraduate diploma in software engineering at Oxford, PRINCE, CISSP. He loves humour, dancing Salsa (preferably with a partner), learning, solving problems, tinkering with almost anything "technical". Temple tends to be quite challenging and disruptive, you won't find him following the crowd.
