I'm currently driving www.nopaper.com, a business hell bent on creating solutions to facilitate in your daily handling of information and dramatically reducing paper wastage specifically in the live events industry & corporate environments. We plan to do this by creating convenient solutions that enrich usage of current technologies & communications. Phase 1 of no paper is currently in beta, with a public release due in late 2009. You can follow the development of nopaper at www.twitter.com/nopaper
Imagine a future with no paper™
I have 2 other companies plus a non-profit currently in very early development, but these are taking a back shelf as I concentrate on no paper.

(Internet industry)
June 1999 — January 2008 (8 years 8 months)
ezpresenter specialised in creating live and archived webcasts. In 1999 this was no mean feat as webcasting was still within it's infancy. Faced with this problem we set about developing our own solutions, that were recognised by Apple Computer, who named us in their developers handbook “QuickTime for the Web”.

Icon X was a multimedia company founded in Singapore when the internet was in it's infancy, 56k was considered a fast connection back then!

July 1994 — March 1995 (9 months)
This was the time I went into the big wide world on my own and never looked back. During this period I met my current Business Partner Richard Lucas when we worked together on the Bond Film Golden Eye. I worked with various multimedia agencies mainly in the live events industry, before the opportunity to move to Singapore arose.

June 1992 — June 1994 (2 years 1 month)
A baptism of fire into the live events industry, a stepping stone into the world of real multimedia. Here I cut my teeth on software like Macromind Video Works (yes that long ago!) and learnt a healthy understanding of absolute deadlines (what do you mean there's over 500 people out there waiting for the conference to start!)

Scrubbed up, wearing latex gloves & surgical greens then hanging around in operating theatres for hours on end, having jars containing body parts placed on your desk… appreciating that beauty really is only skin deep, all in all, an ordinary day at the office!
