William Knight

Bio_photo2Technology is fascinating, but like an apple at the bottom of a fruit bowl, it promises much but can leave a bad taste in the mouth when it fails to deliver. Commercial and technical realities rarely coincide but often pretend that they do.

I write about the issues surrounding the uptake of technology. After graduating as an engineer and working in the IT industry for 18 years I have a solid understanding of the technically possible, and a grasp of commercial pragmatism. My consulting career has taken me around the globe, onto the staff of a selection of the world's largest companies, and into the board rooms of start-up technology innovators.

This extensive expertise allows me to pose difficult questions, understand the answers, write insightful comment and in-depth features, while I will always maintain a readable, entertaining style.

Clients include The Guardian, The Designer, Computing, The Financial Times, Information Security Today, Server Management Magazine, ContractorUK, IEE Review, Gantthead, Java Developers' Journal and under a protective pseudonym, the Rockall times.

I currently live and work in Devon in the UK, contact details on the sidebar.
