BeyondSenior Tech Manager
Nov. 2017 - Jun. 2019United Kingdom, LondonAs one of the Tech Managers at the London studio of Beyond I helped look after teams who worked with our clients. I engaged with new clients to define the scope of work that we undertook and then helped to build the team that delivered the project for the client.
This included a large stock photography organisation, where we created the back end services that drive a new section of their business.
I’ve also worked with a FTSE 100 organisation as the lead for a team of architects implementing a new event driven architecture to stabilise their infrastructure and prepare them for the next phase of growth.
Alongside this, I worked with our CIO and other senior leadership to ensure that the tech team in London was positioned to meet upcoming client requirements in the short, medium and long term as we continued to grow rapidly to meet expanding workload.

The data can be used as a live archive, or as the basis for more modern application development via the comprehensive REST API that drives the application.

Independent consultantConsultant
Jul. 2000 - Nov. 2016United Kingdom, LondonI worked with clients large and small to create custom applications using various technologies. Public examples of projects that I worked on include...
i-Sight
We created a new Java framework to allow the flexible development of this market leading case management tool. The key deliverables were a JSF managed bean Java framework which had to support user configurable security and workflow, and scale to support at least ten times the number of users that the company had previously supported. We delivered the project on time and budget.
The project uses a customised version of Bootstrap for the UI and highly tuned Java code in the form of managed beans on the back end to drive the functionality.

XControls
Working with a UI designer, I created an open source set of developer tools that allow the fast development of business applications to run on mobile devices either in a browser or in Teamstudio's Unplugged product based upon Bootstrap. The project has been ongoing since 2012 with thousands of downloads from developers around the world.
In this project we made use of LESS to dynamically generate CSS files, advanced jQuery and highly tuned JavaScript aimed at very fast performance.
