Reverse Engineering | GMail | Google Shell | BUNIX

This is confusing, I seem to have collected too many addresses. It works like this:

• vext01 (at) gmail dot com - For personal email.
• eddbarrett (at) googlemail dot com - Is an address I occasionally use for more formal personal mail.
• e.barrett (at) kent dot ac dot uk - For academic stuff.
• eb771 (at) kent dot ac dot uk - Another academic address.
• edd (at) openbsd dot org - For OpenBSD related stuff.

My name is Edd and I am a PhD student at University of Kent. My area of research is “Reverse engineering native code in the interest of security”.

I did my undergraduate course at Bournemouth University, where I achieved a 1st class BSc Hons Computing degree. My dissertation project was a JIT compiler using LLVM and python.

In my spare time I am an OpenBSD developer. Currently I provide OpenBSD with it's LaTeX and MPlayer support, amongst other bits and bobs.

Memberships include:

• Programming Languages and System Research Group @ University of Kent.
• TeX User Group (UK)
• IEEE
• Bournemouth University UNIX User Group (founder).

I have a keen interest in odd sounding/progressive/death metal (that's music!), as well as in down-tempo electronic music. From 'Decapitated' to 'Massive Attack'. I also love going to festivals. I have been to Download Festival and Reading Festival many times, and I work as a steward or on the task force at a few of folk festivals each year.

I also like a good ale with friends at the pub. Cheers!
