Ian Wood’s Summary

I worked as an IT professional for a major accountancy firm for nearly five years. During this time I acquired numerous professional qualifications including several Microsoft and Novell certifications. I left full time employment in 2002 to pursue a degree in Sound and Image Design which I completed in 2005, gaining a 1st class Ba(hons). After graduation I worked for several Music Production companies as a songwriter and producer working out of my studio in Central London. In late 2008 I left full time studio work and began to work as a freelance Internet Professional. I specialise in elegant semantic solutions for projects on the web. I plan projects using a "progressive enhancement" methodology.
