Founder at Another Cup of Coffee Limited
United Kingdom
My company, Another Cup of Coffee, is a London-based company developing web sites for start-ups. If you need a website but have a limited budget, please get in touch as I'm sure we can help you.
What I do well is jump into a technical mess and fix it quickly using the most appropriate tools available. The trouble can be related to software, infrastructure or managing technical people; it doesn't matter. That's because I happen to be good at analysing information and breaking down a complex problem into easily solvable components. Having said that, I'm pretty rubbish at coming up with those ground-breaking ideas, but I can take a good idea and improve on it. When encountering something unfamiliar, I rely on my team to help point the way forward.
Large corporations with rigid practices may not find me a suitable fit; I deliver the best results when given freedom to use my own creativity. In the past, I've worked with a systems integrator; world-leading mobile operators; banks and a $100bn Japanese trading house. It was fun while it lasted but wasn't for me.
I love small companies and start-ups. I'm a co-founder of ARC, a London-based outsourcing consultancy. I've also served as a trustee of the Centre for Filipinos, a UK-based charity, and co-founded Phil-UK, a not-for-profit community group.
Internet technology, software development, systems analysis, technical infrastructure for small companies and start-ups.

2006 — Present (3 years )
Another Cup of Coffee builds and supports websites quickly, efficiently and with minimum fuss. We're not a 'full-service digital marketing agency'. We do, however, work on the techie stuff for those who are. Our work mostly deals with the technical aspects of a site like web application programming, databases, content management systems, and servers.
