Andy Parker’s Summary
After several years as a sound engineer, sleeping on floors and hanging out with the 'rock elite' I moved into computers.
Starting out in software support then network administration, I finally found a solid grounding in web design and development.
Becoming an expert in CSS and XHTML markup along with a drive and desire to stay ontop of current trends and developments, has enabled me to become a valuable asset to any organisation.
