Personal Details
DOB: 19/03/1976
Marital Status: Single
Nationality: British
Driving Licence: Full/Clean
Profile:
I am a reliable and level-headed person, with a keen and focused outlook. I bring a cool and logical approach to problem solving which has developed through my time project managing and building websites where an ability to work under pressure and to deadlines is essential.
Key Skills:
I have ten years experience in HTML, CSS, Javascript, ASP, Flash and Actionscript and various graphics and authoring packages. I have developed websites and extranets for companies such as Nissan, BT, Bank of England and Twinings. During late 2007 and early 2008 I had some experience deploying white label websites using .Net for clients such as Lastminute.com and Ministry Of Sound.
For the past 4 years I have developed my skills within Project Management which has involved costing websites, writing specification documents, developing project milestones and ensuring timely delivery of projects. In this capacity I have worked for clients such as Vodafone, 3M, several NHS Trusts and Transform Medical Group.
I feel that my background in website development gives me a distinct advantage when specifying and costing web projects. I am also able to effectively communicate project objectives to developers and designers in order to obtain accurate time scales for costing and milestones. My own eye for detail and quality, from both a technical and aesthetic perspective, also ensures that projects meet with my colleagues and most importantly, the clients approval.
Software Skills:
As well as internet and email software and general website management tools (such as FTP software etc.), I have very good experience in the following packages:
- MS Project
- MS Word
- MS Powerpoint
- MS Excel
- Adobe Dreamweaver
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Flash
- Adobe Premier

Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy mountain walking particularly in the Scottish winter, but keep fit otherwise by cycling and running. I also play the guitar and, when I can, perform in an acoustic covers band. I like weekends away visiting friends, reading (especially spy and crime novels and travel books) and have a wide taste in films.
