Large Scale Data

During the annual televised Comic Relief events, it is essential that donations can be taken quickly and securely as every penny counts! Every donation is captured and processed. That is as many as 200 transactions per second during peak times. 8.5 million transactions in one day. Not only are the payments made, but every penny is analysed and transmitted to multiple endpoints around the globe. In 2015, I made that happen, and it went without a single problem.

Heritage train driver

The Northampton Ironstone Railway is based within the Grounds of The Hunsbury Hill Country Park which is located at Hunsbury Hill, Southwest of Northampton.

In my spare time, I help manage the railway, I own, and renovate wagons, and locomotives (both Diesel and Steam); and from time to time you will see me driving wagon loads of people around the park. My latest renovation project is my Locomotive called Belvedere.
