about me
I travel
- this time in Mexico, US, India, New Zealand and South America. You can follow my travels on twitter @catenjohn.
I am back in the UK for short periods and setup for remote work in certain locations. Contact me for more details or see my Linkedin page for a CV and current status.
I do web stuff
- creating sites with web-standards and developing applications that run in web browsers or mobile devices. I've been developing these sort of things since about 1996 and I still get a kick out of building stuff with Javascript, css and plain old semantic html.
I completed an MSc in 2004 and spent a few years doing user testing and user experience consulting. I'm interested in working with multidisciplinary teams although mostly I'm involved with either interface development or usability.
Back in 80s I designed the D90 - a coat that turned into a bag. It made it to the window of Paul Smith.
my work
Most recently I was Head of Interface Development at Syzygy - a London, UK web agency where I lead and mentored a team of 7 front-end developers.
I have worked for over 12 years in permanent and contract roles with some of the leading UK web agencies and user experience consultancies.
