Short profile

Senior software developer at Ultralab for quite some time, now moved on to new and wonderful things!

Longer profile

Joining Ultralab eight or so years ago I have had lots of opportunity to work on interesting projects. My particular interest with social and online software led me to work on the user interface of Think.com, help develop the then newly online NPQH course, directing the technology aspect of eviva.tv (assessment via mobile phone), and to specify and develop JellyOS - an interesting take on virtual learning environment software. In January this year I left Ultralab, as did many of my peers (for reasons you would be able to find out elsewhere) to set up a new company, Cleveratom. At Cleveratom we seek to nurture creativity and learning through the application of new technology. Some of the current things I am working on include learnometer with Prof. Stephen Heppell, and the Digital Teacher Network with Apple Inc.
