About

In 2005 I founded my first software company, Olate, producing tools for developers. It was acquired at the end of 2007 by which time there were 4 staff serving customers such as BAE Systems and City University London.

I then worked for one of the acquiring companies, eConversions, where I was Lead Developer on social business reviews directory welovelocal.com (like Yelp but in UK). This was acquired in 2008 by GCap Media (now Global Radio), the UK's largest commercial radio group.

My latest venture is Boxed Ice, a software development startup I started working on in Jan 2009. The first product is a server monitoring application called Server Density. I recently pitched the company as a finalist at Mini Seedcamp London.

I act as an advisor to eConversions who are currently working on websites such as vouchercodes.co.uk, CardSmart and discounts.co.uk, as well as handling search marketing campaigns for the likes of British Gas, Dell and Sky.

With 7+ years of programming experience, I work primarily in PHP but also C, Objective C (Mac and iPhone) and Python.

In the past I served on the php.net documentation and QA teams and as well as writing for SitePoint and International PHP Magazine. I also have a published book.
