Damien King’s Summary
With over 10 years experience as a web developer I have seen the progression and growth of the internet and negotiated trends and their effect on web industries. As such I would like to continue to lead the field of web 2.0 and innovation on the web. Currently as a manager of a large web development team that supports a top 20 site in the UK I will continue to push the limits of the net and experiment in new technologies. Additionally I am involved in creating new social networking tools and am currently seeking investors.
