User:Nile Hef

Hello, I'm Nile, a developer working for banks in London, and an archetypal geek. I've been reading Wikipedia for about a year, and contributing the occasional article on banking and finance (anonymously) for most of that time.

I was invited to the Wikipedians meet in Holborn in November 2004 by David Gerard, and was encouraged to register an identity and start contributing on a more regular basis. At last, I have the spare time to do so: I may even get around to writing those Microsoft '.msi' intaller files for WikiMedia.

Most of my contributions will still be on finance topics, with a particular focus on derivatives and risk. I comment on topics that I know about first-hand, and as a general principle I add information and explanations that you won't find by Googling: cut-and-paste rarely adds value and the original material is almost always better-informed and better written than my own efforts.

I can be contacted as Nile underscore Hef @ Yahoo.com
