HIIT is a joint research institute of Aalto University and the University of Helsinki, two ofFinland's leading universities [1]. My role here was to draw on real-world experience and lend practical implementation and software engineering support to a variety of projects.As the projects were quite diverse in nature, I was called upon to adapt to various situations tohelp build prototypes and field experiments. This work included:* Coordinating development efforts within diverse project groups.* Working on integrating a native C/C++ 3D engine into an Android 3D/Augmented Reality app for the CultAR project. [2]* Implementing and conducting mixed reality field experiments to test the effectiveness of various mobile technologies for the Streetlife project.* Working on a custom binary network protocol, with code-generated implementation libraries in C, C++ and Java.* Preparing and presenting demos at SIGGRAPH Asia Symposium on Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications in Kobe, Japan (2015). [3]* Working on a peer-to-peer social network called Peerscape.* Running a code-camp at the University of Helsinki.* Running a code-camp at the University of Nairobi as part of the diversification of the OtaSizzle living-lab project. [4]* Helping to create an iPhone-based interface to a home energy-sensing network for the BeAware research project. [5]* Collaborating on a project at the HIT Lab NZ in Christchurch, New Zealand (2014, 2015) [6]This work was set in an atmosphere of experimentation and learning, so I had the freedom to pursue interesting angles or technologies as projects required them, and to collaborate with a diverse range of people and fields.[1] https://hiit.fi/[2] https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/601139[3] https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/2818427[4] http://www.soberit.hut.fi/T-86/T-86.5750/2009/T-86.5750_OtaSizzle-SizzleLab_05022009.pdf[5] https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/224557[6] http://www.hitlabnz.org/

This Bristol based digital agency took on a number of people to seed its expansion into London. I was taken on to lead the technical side of the London office. As this was started as a small venture which would grow itself I was placed in a position where I had to cover both front-end and back-end technical work as well as being involved in the technical aspects of pitches and working with designers and producers advising in a technical capacity.During this time front-end work was rigorously focused on accessibility, standards and best practices, whilst also unobtrusively providing modern and interactive interfaces.A large client that we worked with was the BBC. The work was based on DNA, the BBC's in-house user generated content platform. I was tasked with going in and learning the system whilst providing maintenance. As a result of my work we were commissioned for further high-profile jobs involving the DNA platform. I was in effect seconded to the BBC to provide the technical resource during the build of these projects. I worked in various departments of the BBC and was involved in technical work, pitches for further work, liaising with clients as to the direction their sites would take, and working with our internal account managers on developing the BBC account.Clients:BBC 606, BBC Memoryshare, BBC Collective, BBC Comedy, BBC Education, Sony, Living TV, Orange, Kia, Triumph, Greenpeace, Victoria & Albert Museum, Toni & Guy, Environment Agency, Countryside Access, FirstPlus, HSAWork:HTML, CSS, Javascript, Accessibility, Web standards, SEO, DOM, AJAX, Actionscript, PHP, Perl, SQL, Content Management, Drupal, eZ Publish, XML, XSLT, DNA, Team Lead, Technical documentation, Pitches, Client Liaison, Cost estimates, Managing contractors

Butterfly Effect was started as an offshoot of Dimension Data to develop a more design led brand which would enable the servicing of smaller non-corporate clients and to do more specialist and innovative work.This was a smaller agency and my role was to lead the technical aspect of the team including the technical part of pitches, advising on and designing technical solutions to often smaller budgets and constraints, working with a variety of existing systems and coding both front-end and back-end systems.Clients:Disney, VH1, MTV Base, Tarmac, English National Ballet, NickelodeonWork:HTML, CSS, Javascript, Accessibility, SEO, WAP, Actionscript, XML, XSLT, PHP, Perl, SQL, Technical documentation, Pitches, Client Liaison, Cost estimates, Managing contractors

I joined Proxicom, a large American e-business company which later was acquired by Dimension Data. Here I was exposed to larger scale projects and larger teams. I worked with a complete lifecycle of analysis, design, build and test, working alongside business analysts, designers, information architects, copywriters, producers, project managers and the various technical roles.My role focused on font-end development and the integration of front-end code with back-end systems. I was able to span these in varying degrees. Clients included sports and entertainment brands, pharmaceutical companies, public sector and government clients and financial companies.On a personal note, during this time my job was held open allowing me to take a six month sabbatical to travel in South America.Clients:Manchester United Football Club, Sky Interactive, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, Royal & SunAlliance, Feld EntertainmentWork:HTML, CSS, Javascript, DHTML, XML, XSLT, Stellent CMS, MCMS Server, SQL, ASP.Net, C#, PHP, Perl, Actionscript

I was part of a small team which founded an internet venture backed by private funding. I was in charge of the design and development of the web site as well as assisting in the business side of the operation from a technical perspective.takeU2.com was, at the time, an innovative idea which provided venue listings and reviews and allowed events and meetings to be organized around these venues. The main interface was a scrollable London Underground map which we obtained an exclusive license to use in this way.Due to the startup nature of the venture, we had free reign to design and build the site in any way we saw fit. We chose principally open source technologies and were early adopters of JSP 1.0 backed by a Java object model and a Sybase RDBMS. Bespoke content management and moderation systems were built in addition to the public facing site. My role was by necessity multi-facetted and included system architecture, JSP, Java, JDBC, SQL, Sybase admin, HTML/DHTML, Unix admin, Shell scripting, Usability testing, and customer relations.Work:Systems Architecture / Design, Java, JSP, Servlets, RMI, Tomcat, Sybase ASE, SQL, Perl, shell scripting, Unix admin, Networking, XML, XSLT, HTML, DHTML, Javascript, WAP, WML, usability, security, customer relations

I joined the web arm of this global advertising company servicing their clients such as Ford, Ericsson, Xerox, Visteon and StarAlliance.The work included designing and developing database driven web functionality, writing and maintaining existing server-side Perl scripts across a range of territories, and writing HTML/DHTML code, Javascript and Java Applets.For the final two months I worked on site at Ford as part of a team implementing a prototype for fordconnections.fi, the Finnish pilot for Ford's European e-commerce sites. This involved working with developers from IBM and Microsoft, clients from Ford and designers and analysts from Wunderman.Clients:Ford UK, Ford Sweden, Ford Germany, Fordconnections.fi, Ford Sport, Ericsson, Visteon, Brand DialogueWork:Perl, SQL, CGI, HTML, Javascript
