I am a computer systems analyst; have been since 1993.  When I’m not busy with my day gig, I can be found enjoying the outdoors.  I do this in a number of ways:

• I am an amateur photographer… wildlife is my favourite subject.
• Camping in one of Alberta’s parks.  I enjoy the mountain parks most of all.
• Hiking, best done with good friends or somewhere there are wild raspberries!
• Geocaching… looking for dollar store crap with multi-million dollar satellites.

I am also a trivia buff, news junkie and armchair political analyst.

Speaking of my day gig… I love my job!  I am a systems analyst and aspiring software architect.  I enjoy learning about new technologies and finding new and exciting ways of using them support business needs.  I believe in life-long learning, coaching others and becoming the best leader I can.

Technology is always changing, and that’s why my interests also continue to change.  I’m currently working on:

• Social media, with an emphasis on gamification and location based services.
• Apple technologies (says the guy with almost 20 years Windows experience).
• SharePoint 2010 Business Intelligence.

I plan to write about these things and more on bradrowley.net… some about me and some about my work.
