About Me
I am 24 years old, I am from Hertfordshire, I live in Kent, and I work in London, one might say a person of the circle of the M25. I got married just over 3 months ago. It was the best day of my life, and I thoroughly recommend getting married to anyone who thinks they've found the right person for them. Best decision of my life so far! I promise I will soon have all the photos and details up on the wedding section.
I work in Covent Garden as a web developer for i&i. We're in the process improvement business, providing advertising for process improvement companies, their events, training and also a large collection of process improvement jobs. We've just rebranded the whole company which has been a very involved, sometimes fun sometimes frustrating process (and I think I've had the least frustrations of everyone on the team!) which is nearly finished, so when thats finished I will talk about it abit on here.
Development
In addition to my web developer role for improvementandinnovation.com, I have my hand in a number of other web projects. They involve a variety of things, including PHP Development (OO and normal) - with and without Drupal (v5 and v6), XHTML, CSS, JQuery/Ajax and my latest "hobby" - Search Engine Optimisation. I have recently got into SEO in quite a big way and am learning a lot about the field. I am happy to share my findings with anyone who wants to know, you just have to ask :). I may even write up some of my search engine optimisation findings in a blog post or in a technical section on this site if they would be of use to people.
Music
I'm quite obsessive about my music. I can always be found with my headphone (just one, both would be rude :P) in at work when I'm not talking to people or in meetings. I've lost count of the number of bands I've seen live, though not nearly as many as Matt. My favourite band are Metallica, and a selection of my other favourites would be Trivium, Kamelot, Machine Head, In Flames, Dream Theater, Devildriver, Def Leppard, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and also some more contemporary stuff like Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and the works of John Williams and Howard Shore. For my full eclectic tastes, please check out my last.fm page from the sidebar menu.
Thats enough about me, you now know enough to strike up a conversation if you happen to ever meet me and don't already know me! If you wish to get in contact, use the contact section on the site. I look forward to hearing from you.
