Originally joined Stack Exchange when seeking database development advice for a work project, but accidentally stumbled upon the Puzzling community via Jafe's excellent "Gladys" cryptic crosswords popping up in HNQ's.

A long-time quiz enthusiast (as both participant and setter) and puzzle solver, this community has encouraged me to engage much more with puzzle creation.

Puzzling's unofficial Necromancer-in-chief (I do love solving 'oldies' that have remained unanswered for a long time...) and happy to be pinged in The Sphinx's Lair for puzzle discussion/advice or contacted at stiv.puzzling (gmail) when collaborating or playtesting. (NB Mailbox monitored infrequently, so a ping in chat first to check if I'm available is always a good idea...)
