About Me

I'm Gervase Markham, known mostly as Gerv. I look approximately like the photo to the right, although it doesn't show the 5-inch y-shaped scar from my adam's apple to my right ear, caused by multiple operations for adenoid cystic carcinoma (a malignant salivary gland cancer). You can read more about that here.

I'm from a little village in Cumbria, UK, a bit south of Penrith, but I now live in Southgate, North London, from where, among other things, I work for the Mozilla Foundation. Previously, I worked at a software company called Data Connection here in Enfield. Before that I studied Computation at the confusingly-named University College, a part of Oxford University.
