WORKSTUFF

Ingredients Recipe

Take the Northern Childhood and age to 18 before moving to London. Whip up the 3 x years at a Performing arts college to produce a BA in Music Technology. Fall head first into the late 90s dotcom boom. Allow to bake for a few years, with some freelancing around London.

Then take to a WPP agency (preferably Banner Corp. in Chelsea) and mature for over 6 years with development work for clients such as IBM, Cisco, Sony, Freescale, HP, and Siebel. Throw in some systems integration work and the odd bit of client facing tech consulting. Spice this mix up with some digital video editing (Final Cut Pro Certification is preferable). Leave to stand.

Lift into Soho and blend into the dev team at Altogether (part of the Engine Group). Season to taste, with work for Artemis, Yorkshire Bank, Vertu, Betfair, Santander and American Express. Add a large dollup of facebook application development and twitter integration.

Move to a client side Technical Lead role at talkSport, and quickly launch a new Drupal based publishing system for a high traffic sports news website. Then remove to the London office of R/GA in time for Christmas 2010.
