Ben Nunney’s Summary

I am currently working as a deployment specialist for Microsoft, looking after UK deployments of Live@Edu – a suite of free services for students that incorporates Microsoft Exchange at its heart. This role is giving me a unique opportunity to combine my work within both education and corporate IT environments, combining the participation in large-scale networking projects, management skills and classroom experiences that I have had in my life so far.

I continue to take an active role within the tech community and also within the world of media, giving me the opportunity to build on both my development and design skills. Combining these two areas gives me a unique insight into how both the high and low level areas of computing work together - from the very basics of inter-computer communication right through to the finer points of engineering a great user experience.

I am a hard working and motivated IT professional with a wealth of experience as both an effective team player and competent team leader. I have a wide range of skills in a variety of technical fields, backed up by excellent communication, creative and interpersonal skills. I have a strong passion for technology, specifically collaboration, messaging and education solutions.
