Jason has a long-standing love/hate affair with C++ and vastly prefers *nix-like O/S. With over 20 years experience, including programming prototype super-computers and automated program-verifiers, but mainly in finance, now focusing on low-latency and HFT software and architectures and the issues arising from them. I am also actively involved with the ISO C++ Standards Committee (UK Panel) and try to present regularly to maintain my skill-set.
