I'm a digital tinkerer mixing programming, design, engineering and data management. On one side of my career I've worked as a data librarian managing audiovisual content and meta-data in the broadcast of large sport events like the Olympics. On the other I've been involved with building websites since being given a 56k modem and a phone line. I've designed and implemented solutions on both sides of my career. On one end I've worked with vendors and managed the delivery of audio-visual content in broadcast and Video on Demand worlds. On the other I've built websites, web-apps, APIs, data-visualizations and dashboards. I'm passionate about open-source and work mostly with Javascript, HTML5, CSS3, Angular and the MEAN stack, Backbone, jQuery, D3js, NodeJs, Requirejs, Grunt, Bower, Git, PHP, Drupal and other frameworks and platforms.
