Software engineer
Brighton, United Kingdom
I'm a Java software developer, living and working in Brighton.
I was trained-up by Logica and worked there consulting and implementing machine learning projects for financial, manufacturing, retail organizations, before heading off to work for Fusion a small city-based consultancy. That was a fantastic time, working with very smart people doing funky stuff, such as visualization projects.
I freelanced for a while for publishers, and much of my work is still in publishing. I'm now running a consultancy called Spiral Arm in Brighton, with my fantastic business partner Jono who is based in Sydney, and we love to work on interesting and hard problems, teaming up with others when we need specialisms to get a job done.
