Hugh Darwen is a computer scientist who was an employee of IBM United Kingdom from 1967[1] to 2004, and has been involved in the development of the relational model.[2]
From 2004 to 2013 he lectured on relational databases at the Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick (UK),[8] and from 1989 to 2014 was a tutor and consultant for the Open University (UK)[9] where he was awarded a MUniv honorary degree for academic and scholarly distinction.[10] He was also awarded a DTech (Doctor in Technology) honorary degree by the University of Wolverhampton.[11] He later taught a database language designed by Chris Date and himself called Tutorial D,[12] part of a proposed family of database query languages called "D".[13]
Bridge
He has written two books on the card game bridge, both on the subject of double dummy problems, on which he has a website. Alan Truscott has called him "the world's leading authority" on composed bridge problems.[14] He was responsible for the double dummy column in Bridge Magazine and other UK bridge publications from 1965 to 2004.

His early works were published under the pseudonym of Andrew Warden: both names are anagrams of his surname.[clarification needed]
