Hi there. Some info on me:
Life!
Come from a town called Ormskirk in West Lancashire, went to the University of Durham from 1997 – 2000, and spent some time abroad in the mid 2000s. Now in Aigburth. Check out my Lifestream for what I’m up to right now!
Work!
I work for Cosmopolitan Housing Group, based in Liverpool. I’m responsible for developing new IT projects, managing various systems, and generally keeping the troops out of trouble. It’s a challenging and extremely broad remit. During 2011 my top priorities so far have been:
- Intranet development using WordPress
- Systems & Server performance tuning & optimisation
- Online payment & booking systems development and integration
Study!
I’m studying towards a Masters in Technology Management with the Open University. So far I’ve got a Postgraduate Diploma in Management of Software Projects, and in 2010 a second one in Technology Management. I’m currently taking a break from OU to try my hand at Stanford University’s new online offering – AI class.
Play!
I’m a regular face in the burgeoning Liverpool Technology Scene, where a group of technology, computer and creative arts centric people join together to network, talk, present and collaborate in different formats and at a range of levels. I’m an occasional trainee banjo player, masochistic runner, fearless snowboarder, and part time Batman impersonator.
