Senior Interactive Developer & Consultant
London, United Kingdom
Over 10 years in the industry I have developed a multi-disciplinary skillset that blends my creative instincts with technical know-how.
A strong background in object-orientated software development makes me a strong technical lead, and my passion for aesthetics allows me to communicate easily with designers and programmers alike.
I provide consultancy services to clients wishing to effectively manage resources for their creative concepts, and development leadership to small teams of programmers to realize those ideas.
I currently work for a range of London’s top agency clients, on some of the most iconic websites for the world’s largest brands.
