Andy 'Bob' Brockhurst

I'm Andy Brockhurst, but everyone just calls me Bob.
I've been at the BBC for just over a year having previously spent nearly five years at Yahoo!. I've been working with PHP daily since around 2000.

At the BBC I'm a Principal Engineer in the Frameworks/Platforms team where we are responsible for Apache, PHP, Varnish and Zend Framework, Frameworks which extend ZF, some core libraries, the global BBC Header/Footer and some Java services thrown in for good measure.

I'm also a father, husband, hacker, maker, tinkerer, marksman, brewer and charity worker.

I'm addicted to anything to do with Space, Science, Tech and Robots.
