  • Smartfocus

    Smartfocus Nov 2015 - Feb 2017
    London, England, Gb
    SmartFocus is a market leading provider of intelligent personalised and real-time marketing solutions to companies worldwide. We have a strong history of cutting edge innovations and creating new technologies for our clients. Initially in a CIO role, I was responsible for technological and information security at all levels of the business: introducing internal trainings, quarterly pen tests, responding to RFPs and devising strategy to respond to changes in information security legislation (repeal of Safe Habor, Brexit, EU GDPR).I also successfully renegotiated many of the contracts with our suppliers and reinvested the savings in expanding our technological resiliency. During the 9 months in this role I also dealt with relocation of our headoffice to our impressive Adlgate location as well as moving three other remote offices.In Summer 2016, the board asked me to create a completely new Science and Innovations division, completely separate from the existing R&D division to focus on the cutting edge computer science that keeps us ahead of our competitors. My team consisted of researchers and developers with PhDs and MScs in disciplines related to machine intelligence and deep learning based in both the UK and USA.Following a change in CEO in 2016 Q4, SmartFocus decided to cease all investment in AI and dissolved the division.
  • Snaprapid

    Snaprapid Apr 2015 - Oct 2015
    SnapRapid is a team of deep learning experts based in central London. We have cutting edge technology that allows us to track sports brands and their influence through social media.I architected the infrastructure, databases and code for almost all of the application and built the team from nothing with a combination of permanent and contract employees.I left SnapRapid at the conclusion of my sixth month contract after taking it from an idea to an established application and have no doubt that this company will go from strength to strength.
  • Salon Software Solutions Ltd
    Cto
    Salon Software Solutions Ltd Sep 2014 - Apr 2015
    SSSL was formed from the split of Integrity into multiple separate companies and has several product lines in the area of Salon and Spa business management. As CTO I managed the successful migration of two offices to new premises including multiple backup plans to ensure business continuity when some of our suppliers failed to deliver to time. During this time I also launched the SaaS solution, Zuberri (www.zuberri.com) to the industry as the only saas solution for salons that continues to function while offline, critical for many of the people in the industry who are often in areas of poor internet connectivity. All feedback so far has been immensely positive and we are coming to the end of the free trial period for our first launch phase and have already started to see trialists convert to subscribers.
  • Integrity Software
    Cto
    Integrity Software Mar 2011 - Aug 2014
    Lincoln, Gb
    Integrity Software has multiple vertical interests in diverse fields of Salon and Spa Management, Construction Accounts and Specialist Retail. There are five active product lines with several further lines in maintenance. Development is in multiple languages from COBOL and VB6 to .Net, PHP and Javascript, with a hybrid development approach that is Agile on a day to day basis at the developer level with longer term reporting following a more traditional Prince2 style approach. As Group CTO I instigated continuity of process across the three divisions and structure to the previously ad hoc development and QA cycles. Understanding of Agile within the teams was reinforced and new processes were introduced and monitored to ensure that the rate and quality of development improved. To support these changes I hired new talent to manage the two development divisions requiring the largest improvements, and also key specialist roles that had previously been missing in order to move Integrity from an amalgamation of disparate divisions to an ordered group that could collaborate and take advantage of shared resources. With trusted individuals in key positions, I was able to focus on technical innovation to support the growth of the company.
  • Sage
    Sage 1000 Development Team Leader
    Sage Jul 2008 - Mar 2011
    Newcastle Upon Tyne, Gb
    Although most commonly known for their accounts solutions, Sage develop a wide variety of business software including, CRM, ERP, HR and Payroll products. As Development Team Leader I was responsible for a team of between 7 and 10, two of which were home workers, both in terms of their development but also defining and directing their work items using an Agile process to deliver the underlying infrastructure for the new software versions. In addition to my team leader role, I took on the coordination of the new integration mechanism with teams based in Ireland and the USA, working directly with the product managers of the CRM teams to ensure that our requirements were met. For the version 3 release of Sage ERP 1000 I had the added responsibility of being the Early Adopter Programme manager, ensuring that the software had sufficient real world testing prior to its official release to market date.I was responsible for the coordination of the Amazon Cloud demonstration environment for business partners including assisting with the legal contract, ensuring that the demonstration servers was regularly updated and that the business partners were kept informed about the updates. This was an exciting initiative allowing early visibility of the software while it was still in development, so that the Business Partners could feedback and affect the final version, while at the same time preparing their own customisations in advance of the market release date.In order to support Sage’s corporate social responsibility program I identified the potential for work experience students and took on sole responsibility for ensuring all internal and external requirements were met, creating the necessary induction packages and liaising with schools to identify potential students. This has been a very rewarding programme and the materials I produced will be used elsewhere in the business as a template.
  • Alchemetrics
    Development Manager
    Alchemetrics Jan 2006 - Jun 2008
    Reading, England, Gb
    Alchemetrics design, develop and support marketing database solutions, ensuring that companies comply with all data protection and privacy legislation. As Development Manager I had ultimate responsibility for ensuring that all client projects were delivered on time to the highest standard and with the correct specification. I was responsible for the continuing personal development of my staff in line with Alchemetrics’ “Investor in People” status and provided internal training on MySQL, PHP and testing techniques. I designed and coordinated development of new software products to increase profitability of the company, which were successfully rolled out to key clients. Where necessary, I also acted as Architect for client systems, liaising with clients to determine their requirements and acting in a dual role of technical lead and project manager.
  • Nokia
    N70 Test Coordinator
    Nokia May 2005 - Dec 2005
    Espoo, Southern Finland, Fi
    At Nokia, I was a Test Coordinator and team lead for the N70 Smartphone. Managing a multi site team of six people, I was responsible for the organisation and realisation of testing strategy for the phone and liaising with other departments to allocate resources for the testing effort. Under my control, testing of the software was carried out to schedule, and the N70 was sold around the world in the final quarter of 2005, instantly becoming a market leader and recouping development costs within 4 weeks of release.
