Darren has been tinkering with Macs on a professional level for more than 16 years. He started as a fresh-faced hardware repair trainee and has fond memories of iBook G4 Logic Board repairs! Over the years, he progressed on to executive relations and eventually consultancy. Now he's finally moved onto his current role as Lead Systems Engineer for dataJAR Ltd, providing elegant and simple solutions for Apple customers worldwide. Along with other pillars of the UK Apple community, Darren helps to run London Apple Admins, and is keen to share his technical knowledge through a range of blogs. During downtime, he is your typical geek and can be found with his head in books, both of the comic and traditional variety, video games and television shows.When he does venture out, you'll find him happy in his local, ale in hand.
