I'm Martin Colley, an Electronics Engineer, and IT Specialist. I am currently taking an employment gap after working for 34 years in the Telecommunications Information Technology industry.

I'm married to Norma Colley, and have a daughter, Thandi, and a son, Adam. I am immensely proud of my family.

Norma, to whom I have been married for 30 years this year, is an Industrial Psychologist, and my soul-mate. Thandi is an Electronics Engineer, and works in London, specialising in Radar. Adam has graduated as an Electronics Engineer, and will be doing his Masters after taking a break.

• Electronics, which interest started before studying engineering, as a high school hobyist.
• Open Source products, which I have used in a personal capacity since 1995, and in industry for many years.
• DevSecOps, where in my capacity as an IT Specialist, implemented on-premise Open Source DevSecOps tooling.
• Publishing content written by my family. My parents both wrote, as does my wife. I also dabble.
• Software, which I encountered in my youth and have been writing ever since.
• Languages, which I see as related to my interest in software. I am currently learning Spanish using Duolingo.
• Playing music, which I believe is related to my interest in all of the above. I play the guitar, the drums, and sing.
• Philisophy and Comparative Religion, which interest I inherited from my Father.
