- has been developing software (DOS, Windows, database, multimedia, city finance, 3D PC games, 3D mobile phone games, business web development) since the early eighties
- has gone from permanent employment, through to contracting for banks in the city (e.g. merchant banks), to founding in 1998 his own interactive software company Abstract Worlds Ltd
- has experience in a number of languages, including the following programming languages: C, C++, VB, Java, JavaScript, ActionScript, C#, PHP, database languages: MS SQLServer, MySQL, and page description languages: HTML, CSS

- in 2006 developed in his company a sitebuilder system in PHP, JavaScript and MySQL, which is a website which designs and creates other websites (this site uses this sitebuilder)
This site is a personal spare time project for Paul, a way of giving back to the community, which also acts as a refreshing distraction from his normal professional software development work and running his interactive software business.
