Director
Code Positive
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)
January 2007 — Present (2 years 7 months)
Code Positive has been formed by combining the skills of CortextCommunications and The-Organization into (what we intend to be) London's top Drupal consultancy house.

Co-Founder
The School Of Everything
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Civic & Social Organization industry)
September 2006 — Present (2 years 11 months)
The School of Everything has the, rather down to earth, aim of getting rid of The Industrial Age of Education (which has, quite frankly, gone on waay too long). Our pretty amazing team has emerged from a few years of research and exploration into better ways of learning.
I am designing and building the technical implementation, using Drupal of course. -
Organizational Designer
The-Organization.com
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
October 2005 — Present (3 years 10 months)
The-Organization.com explores technologies for collaboration. We seek to build software that reaches beyond the computer and out into social structures and processes. Social networking, group decision making and shared identity, iconography and mythology - The-Organization works to build tools (and toys) to find what makes people work better together.
