About the Business
Kypoth Systems is just me, my name is Alex. I first started playing with computers when I was 11 after my dad bought an IBM XT with a 20Mb (yes, megabyte) hard disk. How did we fit anything on a 20Mb hard disk? These days, you get memory sticks by the gigabyte! Those were also the days before the world wide web, I remember using dial up modems connecting to a service called Prestel before the web took off. A lot has happened to IT in all those years :.
I decided to pursue a career in The City after leaving school, and it took me a few years to realise computers were going to be my thing. I spent the next 15 or so years working in Market Data, which is the provision of all the stock price and news feed data to the trading room. I enjoyed this because you were responsible for the whole service, from comms room to desktop, so got to tinker with a lot of different equipment.
