about

I am your host, Gavin Baker.  I am a Computer Scientist and Software Engineer based in Melbourne, Australia.  I am interested in image processing, video, graphics and 3D, and writing high-performance code.  I recently submitted my PhD thesis in Image Processing and 3D Modelling at The University of Melbourne (visit my research pages for more details).

This site is where I write articles on software and the craft of coding, professional development, and the occasional industry observation piece.  I tend to write about C++ and Python, but I am particularly interested in learning more about functional languages.  I aim to write interesting and useful articles for my fellow coders; the sort of articles I would like to read myself.  I have over 15 years professional experience, and I still enjoy learning - both theory and practice.
