Overton.io is an index of policy & the research that supports it. We help think tanks, publishers and academics understand where and how their work is being used to influence policy.

I was involved in various projects across Altmetric and Digital Science but focused on metrics, product and business development.

Altmetric makes article level metrics easy for scholarly publishers and authors. It's a service for tracking how often articles are mentioned in social media, the news and in online reference managers.I talk a lot about altmetrics in general and occasionally blog here: http://www.altmetric.com/blog

I was in the Research Tools group within Digital Science, managing the forerunner of what is now Projects (https://projects.ac/).

I was responsible for conceiving of, specifying and then managing the development of innovative online products for scientists.Between 2009 - 2011 I was focused on mobile applications.Before that I managed Connotea (connotea.org) and Nature.com Blogs (blogs.nature.com) as well as a number of smaller projects.I also worked on projects for sister companies Pan Macmillan, Palgrave and Macmillan English Campus.

I was a bioinformatician in the Medical Genetics department at the University of Edinburgh. My main interest was in pulling together different datasets to help identify candidates for genes that might cause disease when mutated.

Held various IT related jobs while travelling.

I co-founded a start up straight out of university, supported by the University of Edinburgh's technology transfer office. We built web based CRM systems.
