Mark Spicer has been working in and writing about technology for the better part of two decades. He started as a systems administrator at a financial services firm, moved into IT consulting, and spent six years at a fintech building payment infrastructure before going freelance. He writes about fintech, enterprise software, cybersecurity, and the technology decisions that companies make badly and expensively. He has migrated enough legacy systems to know that 'digital transformation' usually means 'we should have done this five years ago'. Mark lives in Reading. He still builds PCs for fun and considers the command line a perfectly good user interface.
