Growing up during the late seventies and eighties, Jon Silvera spent a great deal of time around early home computers. Having started his career in programming, he moved into sales and established a custom PC business in London before moving into software development with FastTrak Software. More recently, Jon has moved on to his own projects, including FUZE Technologies, where he created the FUZE; a programmable electronics and computing workstation, specifically designed to help with teaching computing.
