User:Phil Holmes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As my nickname suggests, my name is Phil Holmes. I live near Ipswich, Suffolk in England. Until 1 September 2005 I worked for BT and I now work for Motorola. I took a degree in Physics at Manchester University, specialising in lasers and solid state. I started my working life for BT by making silicon bipolar integrated circuits. I then made optical devices, including lasers and PIN-diodes before moving into software - specifically network management and OSS. My final job with BT was as CTO in BT Exact, where I was the initial architect for BT's 21CN.
