Igor Clark’s Summary
I make complex web sites and internet applications happen. I know what'll work, what won't, and I work out how to change the latter into the former.
Since 1996 I've worked for clients ranging from the academic, the dot-com and the retail to the FTSE 100. I've designed, built, administered and managed systems including e-commerce and financial applications, document and content management, web-based email, reporting and data reconciliation tools; I've written client/server software, created simple and efficient ORM and MVC frameworks, streamlined development practices, led a 10-strong multi-disciplined development team on multiple concurrent projects, designed and deployed hosting platforms for websites of widely different profiles, and managed technical partner relationships on projects for household name companies.

POKE is an engaging digital agency with some genuinely inspiring people; working here gives me the opportunity to put my creative development and execution capabilities into practice on a high turnover of often complex projects with neat ideas and great design.
Along with building and leading a talented technical team, I'm involved in all aspects of project development, including information and systems architecture, design and implementation, configuration management and systems administration.
