In April 2001, the University of the Witwatersrand awarded me an MSc in Computer Science for a dissertation on task graph performance bounds. My undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics is from the University of Cape Town. Back in 1984, I won the South African Mathematics Olympiad.
Since 2001 I've been a director of Borntosend, a South African reseller of courier and freight services. For the four years to April 1998, I was with Internet Solutions as Internet Services Director.
A more detailed summary of my work and research is also available.
I like to spend time with my partner Vashti Galpin and our friends, listen to music, read, and cook and eat vegetarian food. I am also a Cape Wine Master; my final thesis was Techniques to achieve moderate alcohol levels in South African wine.
I was born in Budapest, grew up in several different countries, and live in South Africa. We regularly spend time in Edinburgh which is my favourite city after Johannesburg, although Stockholm also comes close.
Salamon was a king of Hungary between 1052 and 1087, and his father András held the same post between 1046 and 1060. In other contexts, Salamon is a female dog-like Digimon character, and Andras is apparently a kind of demon -- according to Wikipedia, anyway.
Technically speaking, the acute accent in my name is not optional (in Hungarian, "á" is a letter distinct from "a"). Then again, technically speaking, ASCII is a poor standard for information interchange, but I use it anyway.
