Having merged CMS Professionals with some other Drupal companies back in 2010 to found Code Enigma, it has been my sole focus ever since. We offer high-quality open source web software and supporting services to organisations who deem their Internet presence to be business critical.

CMS Professionals is a UK-based private limited company for which I am Managing Director and owner. Prior to Code Enigma it was a full service web agency, however it is now a contract vehicle for any IT consultancy work I do.

For many years I have contributed code and time to the Drupal project, to forward Drupal as an enterprise-ready CMS.

Uzès, France

When I moved to France I registered as the French equivalent to a sole trader in the UK, auto-entrepreneur. I did the majority of my work in this capacity for the first couple of years, working some of the time on contracts for my company, CMS Professionals, and some of the time on work for other companies, including providing PHP training to the European Commission Joint Research Centre in Italy and various Drupal development jobs. However, my commitment to Code Enigma saw me effectively wind up my auto-entrepreneurship to take a formal permanent position as Director there.

As a sole trader in the UK I worked under this banner, doing a mixture of LAMP development, Drupal development, intranet applications, Web 2.0 sites, consultancy, management and training. Since I moved to France, this "entity" no longer exists.

As part of my sole trader activities, I represented NobleProg as a trainer, a sales representative and a project manager. I spent most of my time for NobleProg teaching Drupal or on site providing Drupal consultancy. I also taught several other courses, including HTML/CSS, JMeter, SQL, etc.

Rareface was one of the world’s leading providers of social networking software, responsible for such websites as the US-based NASCAR sensation, Infield Parking and Playboy UK’s unique and high-profile concept, creating a website where a modelling contest meets an online community, to name but a few.Reporting to the company board and investors, in a consulting capacity, my role at Rareface was to keep development of all of our products on track, on time and to budget. As well as making recommendations on the future of the software, important technology choices and building and managing a development team, I also regularly met with clients and was involved in sales engagements. During my time there I oversaw the completion of the core product, guided its future development and introduced the organisation to other product/project management methodologies and development approaches they had not previously considered, thus facilitating a smoother and quicker development process.It was also at Rareface that I first began using Drupal, moving their legacy proprietary platform over to Drupal 5.

Charlotte, North Carolina Area

Infield Parking is a NASCAR community that was at one time part-owned by Rareface, running the unique Rareface social networking software package. The community was hugely successful and boasted NASCAR's most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr, as the company President for a time. The website continued to exist until late 2011 and was a popular hub for NASCAR fans.

Following my success in charge of the Work web development team, and in response to demands from the rapidly growing sales teams for technical support when pitching for hi-tech business, I was promoted to Technical Project Manager for the company. This role was forged to fill a gap in Work’s client services wing. They needed a client-facing but technically savvy individual for new business, consultancy, client relationship and product delivery.My duties included ensuring the quality of new media products, making decisions on new products and supplier partners, managing client relationships both on and off of projects, project delivery, timings and budgets, designing processes for product delivery and consultancy and project specification.

Work Communications are one of London’s leading Recruitment Communications specialists. They started trading in October 2000 and since then have grown exponentially to be the 4th largest Recruitment Communications & Advertising Agency in the UK.I was invited to join Work by the new Board when the business was still a small start-up (I believe I was the 8th person to join). They were impressed by my work at Park (where some of them were also Board members and former owners) and invited me to start the Internet team of their new advertising agency - a challenge I gladly accepted. Here I further expanded my knowledge of web development and relative technologies, heading up the Internet team for nearly three years.My clients included Nestlé, Ford Motor Company (Jaguar and Land Rover specifically), Centrica Group (The AA and British Gas specifically), Accenture, London Ambulance Service and ntl, to name but a few.

Park represented my first job in London. The professional web development experience I gained at InHaus Solutions stood me in good stead and my Architectural background lent itself well to technical development in other areas. At Park I learned to use all the prevalent Internet software, and more - knowledge which stays with me today.

Hull, United Kingdom

Having studied Architecture at degree level, my first position was as an Architectural Technician in a small practice. It was at InHaus where I learned some valuable lessons in detail work and the importance of high quality output in technical professions. I also did my first professional website design and development, as an offshoot from my usual duties as a Drawing Technician.

Bachelor Of Arts (Ba), Architecture, Upper Second Class Honours

After my A-level higher education, I went to university and studied for a BA Honours degree in Architecture, passing out in 1999.
