Work
I'm currently a Free Software engineer at Linaro, working on ARM Linux. Previous job (2007-2010) was at Toby Churchill Ltd and iEndian doing embedded debian and Balloon boards and build systems.
From 1992-2007 I worked at Aleph One Ltd on PC Cards for RiscOs machines, Embedded Arm Linux, Open Hardware and the YAFFS NAND Flash Filesystem. In 2001 I wrote a book on ArmLinux.

Computing (Free Software)
I'm a Debian developer, working on Embedded Debian, the ARM (armel/armhf) ports, crossbuilding, bootstraping, multiarch, and assorted cave surveying packages.
Emdebian. (I volunteered to be project lead). Emdebian is a scheme to make it easy for developers to use the resources of Debian to generate new embedded systems, via tools and documentation. It needs testers and coders - anyone with any enthusiasm for this idea is very welcome.
PsiLinux project. I was involved with this cool project approx 2001-2005.
