“The reason I did engineering (at university) was that I wanted to learn how a computer works,” Eamonn said. “We did everything from generating the power to run a computer, through to programming it. All of the layers through machine code into more advanced programming languages that set me up really nicely for my first job.”
Perhaps surprisingly from someone who was inspired by his personal computer, Eamonn found his passion in business software. He liked the scale of the impact he could have.
“The thing I got a real kick out of, and it’s the same as we talked about with coding for the Spectrum, is when you can get a technology to work at scale, you get a real buzz when you see the reaction.”
