It was during this employment that under the leadership of Kate Howe, I was given the opportunity to become a digital conceptual creative. This lead to my promotion to Head of Creative Technology as I pushed the digital offerings of Nitro's clients into fields such as online gaming. I was also the technical architect of the internal communication system for Mars Foods PLC - one of the world's biggest employers. At Sapient I even worked as a more traditional creative on TVCs.

RMRISenior Developer
Jun. 2001 - Aug. 2004Manchester, United KingdomAt RMRI I switched to applications development. I worked on applications that calculate Probable Loss of Life (PLL) on large scale assets in the oil & gas industry (oil rigs, supply ships, etc). This was a huge change of focus and incredibly rewarding. The software we developed allowed risk analysts to create an event tree points of failure for the asset, things like particular equipment exploding or life boat launches failing. The software drew on a huge amount of empirical data and complex mathematical and engineering functions to produce results. The software was mainly used to assess what types and levels of insurance should be applied to these assets. In time I extended these services so much of the information regarding assets could be entered online and batch processed. I also spent time working with analysts in Newfoundland, Canada. Technologies used:
Windows server/IIS/MS SQL
Linux/Apache/MySQL
VB6, PHP, VB.Net, ASP.Net, JS, Perl

The Manchester Metropolitan UniversityWeb Manager
Feb. 1999 - Sep. 2000Manchester, United KingdomI was responsible for the Faculty of Science and Engineering's web presence. Prior to my arrival all the departments had been responsible for their own sites (hosting, style and content). The first task was to rationalise all these separate sites into a coherent faculty offering. Once this process was complete we added services to aid students and lecturers, for example a moderated database of links to course relevant content. The major success was the implementation of a real time tracking and chat system that allowed admissions staff to interact directly with potential students who were looking at courses on the faculty website. This resulted in a sharp increase in foreign students, and a huge upturn in income for the faculty. Technologies used:
Windows NT/IIS/MS SQL
Linux/MySQL/Apache
ASP, PHP, JS
Manchester City CouncilIntranet Webmaster
May. 1998 - Feb. 1999Manchester, United KingdomI was tasked to create the council's first intranet from scratch. It was an amazing opportunity for someone fresh out of university; I had to select and configure the server environment, design & develop the actual site and structure and train the content producers. I actually selected Frontpage 98 as the content management method, this product allowed WYSIWYG HTML editing and content creators could publish to AWS on their team leaders computer to be reviewed prior to being published either to the departmental head or straight to production. The site grew rapidly as it was rolled out across the council, and proved an invaluable information sharing portal. Technologies used:
Windows NT/IIS/MS SQL
ASP, JS and HTML
