Career

I graduated from the University of Bradford in 2000 with a Masters in Software Engineering. Shortly afterwards I started working for a company in Yorkshire as a C++ developer working on components and new versions of existing software.

A year or so later I moved over to the interactive side of the company and started working on ASP websites combining Java applets, Javascript and DHTML with our custom ASP backend.

As new interactive web technologies took off we moved over to Flash development and ultimately Flex with ASP.NET as our backend using FluorineFX's implementation of Flash Remoting for communication.

In 2010 I started working for a digital marketing agency as the Director of User Experience. Here I use my expertise to motivate my team to create the best possible online and mobile experiences across a host of technologies.

Downtime

When I have time I frequent the actionscript.org forums and help out other developers wherever I can. I think I've learnt as much as I've given over there as it's a fantastic resource for Flash/Flex/AS development.

I also play electric guitar, although sadly I don't have much time for this at the moment. The Fender sits in a corner and collects dust most of the time.

I'm remodelling our home here in Chattanooga. Despite its small size, work seems to be taking forever! We're moving walls and everything, so it's no small job.

I have a beautiful, supporting wife and two fantastic kids that I spend as much non-work time as possible with.
