About

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.
