A perpetually optimistic software developer and sheep farmer. Has worked in several London companies ranging from established leaders of their fields to small shoestring startups. He has also written several pieces of Open Source software, given talks at conferences and is an active member of London's Perl commmunity. More unusually lives on a sheep farm in Wales and hence has also done the routine farm duties of installing fencing, digging ditches and lambing the flock. This mixture leads to an interesting perspective on things.

He says about HinuHinu: "My hope is that HinuHinu will allow me to work on many varied projects, making each successive one better by reusing the best bits from the previous ones. We should be able to spot a problem, work out an answer and make it available to the public in less time than most companies would take to arrange the initial discussion meetings. Once the feedback starts to come in from real users we should be able to respond quickly."

Greg McCarroll is the current London.pm (London's and the world's largest, Perl user group) leader, a CPAN author, a White Camel winner and a loving husband who lives in Penge in south London with his wife and badly behaved cat. He has 18 years of professional computing experience and another 6 of playing with microcomputer's in his childhood bedroom.

He has worked for blue chips and startups and has had the privilege of dealing with some of Europe's and the world's greatest companies, doing everything from helping one of the world's premier broadcasting companies carry out the first digital TV outside broadcast to ensuring a Swedish appliance manufacturer's website ran faster than their Asian competitors in Asia.

But what he really loves is helping people, it sounds cheesy but the relief on the outside broadcast project manager's face or the delight when the webmaster realised what he could tell his bosses about their performance against their competitor, is something that a bonus can never give.

Greg is hoping that HinuHinu gives him the chance to prove that a company can be built 'right', using the best and most robust technologies, have fair moral values and still be profitable. And that we can give great products to really help people.
