A musician by training (a graduate of Sheffield University, King's College London and Edinburgh University), Charles first started working on mainframes at Midland Bank (later HSBC) in 1986 as an assembler programmer. He was in application development for a decade, converting to COBOL (and Rexx), before supporting various middleware products (DB2, MQ and CICS) just as HSBC was adopting Data-sharing Parallel Sysplex technology, then joining the Mainframe Software Configuration Management team as an Endevor administrator is the very early 2000's, eventually heading up the Global Application Lifecyle Management team about 2008. An 'offer he couldn't refuse' in 2012 led to him becoming an Endevor (and Middleware) consultant with stints at RBS, Barclaycard and IBM, before spending 5 years trying to earn a living from being a composer (he failed). Since 2022, he has rejoined HSBC in his current role as Senior Endevor Administrator. He's passionate about "doing the right thing", challenging uncorroborated assertions, asking questions, giving contemporary Culture and the Arts a central role in modern life, and fostering creativity, inside and outside of work. He's also a connoisseur of Arts Spraff and the absurd!
