About

Personally

Here's some very quick run down of my history.

I grew up in South West London (New Malden if you know the area), and headed to Manchester for university in 2008.

I've lived in Manchester ever since (15 years at time of writing).

I've been married to a lovely Northern Irish woman since 2012, and now have 3 great kids to boot. Norah & Jessica are identical twin girls born 2016 and Caleb followed in 2018.

Professionally

I entered into the tech scene back in 2012.

I was fortunate to work with a great team and was given a lot of opportunities in my first tech job so stayed at that company for 11 years.

In this role I quickly moved from testing and quality assurance to being the primary project manager for a number of large enterprise tech projects.

My role adapted around 5 years in when I started up a new department aimed at providing hands on development for end customer web projects across a network of over 300 graphic design studios in multiple countries.

I moved on to simultaneously lead 2 departments:
In one team I was project manager for a team of senior developers working on a web-2-print CMS connecting end-users to studios, studios to suppliers, orders and invoices to accounting systems.
In the other I was a lead developer for a team of junior developers working on end customer web applications.

In 2024 I decided it was time for a new challenge and took on a position as head of development for a small team working on lead generation for law firms. I've also worked on a php based content management system for the company.
