A bit of a mixed box really:

my job as a risk manager for a hedge fund has more to do with maths and statistics than programming
but I like programming and I've developed a few things like this high level Bloomberg Desktop Java API wrapper
although I have never taken a computer science course in my life (=> you can't blame me if I don't know terms that people learn in CS 101)
