Dan Glegg’s Summary

Skilled application developer with substantial knowledge and experience gained from a wide variety of projects.

I derive great satisfaction from creating software beautiful both inside and out, and thrive in environments which encourage initiative and iteration. I'm happy to work and learn alone, and equally happy to have a team of interesting people to learn from.

I'm interested in web applications with novel social or technological aspects, especially those requiring the invention of new techniques or technology. I'm also particularly interested in online applications with heavy off-site integration, including widgets, desktop clients and other such tools. Chiefly, I adore solving large, horrible problems and crafting nice, smooth experiences for the people using the software we create as a result.

Dan Glegg’s Experience

• Lead Developer

  Videojuicer

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Broadcast Media industry)

  September 2006 — Present (2 years 4 months)

  Responsible for long-term architectural decisions, and day-to-day leadership of a 5-man development team. Most notably, developed a live, non-destructive web-based video editor, a full-featured Flash-based SMIL client and an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for organising Movies into Channels.

• Owner

  Angry amoeba (Sole Proprietorship)

  (Sole Proprietorship; Myself Only; Computer Software industry)

  March 2002 — Present (6 years 10 months)

  I founded Angry amoeba five years ago with the intention of creating a channel through which I could work on challenging projects with varied teams. I wanted an environment in which my role would not be a constant - to learn about every aspect of building and shipping a software product by seeing it from every perspective while maintaining my focus on development and architecture.
  
  So far we've successfully produced applications, games and sites for numerous purposes including e-learning, productivity, bespoke publishing, entertainment and marketing.
  
  We're also setting out to develop our own software products for small teams with big ideas.
