Who?

My name’s Alex Muller.

I’ve completed two years of undergraduate study (in Computer Science and Maths) at the University of York.

I worked at GlaxoSmithKline, a large pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare company, from July 2010 until September 2011.

I'm nearly finished my final year of university, in which I learnt loads of Python, a ton of probability & statistics and took a course titled “Crypto, Attacks & Countermeasures”. And I had an incredibly fun final-year project to boot.

It’s brill. I've loved this year so much that I had to look up the source of a quote that keeps coming to mind. Turns out it's apparently Confucius: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

What?

My personal blog, where I write about things that interest me. To give you an idea, here’s the most popular posts:

• Vodacom on iPhone in South Africa (Apr 2010)
• Teenage Killings in London (Sep 2008)
• LED vs CCFL (Jan 2010)
OS X Leopard on a Samsung NC10 Netbook (Jan 2009)

Entries • in bold are those I am most pleased with.

There’s a big long list with every post if you’d like it.
