<p class="answer">My name is Scott Wallace and I'm a hacker at heart. This means that I love technology and messing about with it until it does what I want it to -- not the other way around. I'm a "contracting IT Systems Engineer". I like to think that I specialise in automation but it's really just scripting myself out of work. I'm essentially a mercenary and will work for the highest bidder. My main area of expertise lies around the Internet and web technologies.</p>

Software installation is <a href="https://github.com/scottwallacesh/dotfiles" target="_blank">scripted</a> which makes setting up new installation a cinch.
