About Me - www.GlennRoast.Co.Uk

I graduated in 1999 at the University of Portsmouth with a Degree in Computer Science

I am now an active professional member of the British Computer Society (MBCS). I am also a Chartered IT Professional.

I have been attending selected seminars across the UK and I read BCS materials online to further my knowledge interests and career.

Hello, and thanks for visiting my website. This page aims to give you a little more information about my work, myself and my interests.

I am 31 years of age, working for an IT company's HQ as a Voice-over-IP Network Analyst.

I support 2K/2003 Servers on a corporate WAN, Digital and Analogue Phones with MS-Windows & Office, mainstream & 3rd party applications.

It's a great job with a mix of technical skills required to solve various IT problems. I document technical processes to build a strong knowledgebase of answers.

I have worked on a variety of customer sites across the UK including London, and I wish to provide the best IT service possible during any chosen appointment.

I live in the South of England, Great Britain. I commute to work with a free fuel card, and I'm enjoying use of the new company car that was supplied to me.

I have an honours degree in computer science and an MCP in Windows XP. I am considering the next exam topic, as long as I get more letters after my name!

I have passed an ITIL Foundation course in IT Service Management. I passed the exam with 34/40 and hope to take a Practitioner course in the future.

The training I have received in Windows, DOS, Unix and Server software compliment my interests in computer security.

I have written several security applications and utilities, including whitepapers on securing operating systems. This includes the implementation of operating system security patches, anti-virus, personal firewalls, backup solutions, intrusion detection and encryption to secure home computers for myself and for my friends.

My anti-virus project is a word virus scanner that detects and removes all word viruses. It does so without an update needed for the scanner. It aimed to be always up-to-date. It does need more improvements in the future. The documentation was interesting to write, and I hope it is interesting to read. The link for the project is here if you wish to download it. http://www.glennroast.co.uk/av.htm

Hobbies I have include martial arts, swimming, chess, badminton, pool & snooker, motoring, music, origami, ten-pin bowling, photography, multi-gym, internet shopping and adding new content to my number of different web-pages and websites :-)

I like going to pubs, internet cafes and local countryside around my area. I like seaside holidays when on vacation. I joined a gym with my wife and I like to keep fit.

Here's a picture of me at my old workplace in Barclays Bank. I'm at my desk with a phone behind me, my mobile, a fast PC and a hot cup of coffee :-)

I recently discovered my name being used in a play called "After Silence" by Jonathan Carroll.

My name is rare, and it surprised me to read about it when searching the net for myself.
