Cookie's Glue Kid's from when we were at glue London
In short:
I’m a London based freelance web developer who plays in a band and writes (comics, novels, shorts stories).
At length:
I’ve been working for digital agencies since the late 90′s, at deepend London, glue London (now glue isobar), and Agency Republic. Twelve years with three great agencies. Primarily I’m a LAMP developer, from the back end to the front using jQuery, CSS, and HTML, but I have maintained .Net sites for Hovis, wrangled Perl, and helped build a Facebook app for Smirnoff using Ruby on Rails with Chris “patience of a saint” Rosser.
Poverty Over for Christian Aid (Weir+Wong)
Most recently I built the Christian Aid ”Poverty Over” for Weir+Wong, helped out on the Aviva site “Your are the big picture” for B Reel, and have been working on a project for the BBC / YouView.
Currently I’m freelancing, if you would like to contact me for work, please feel free to do so.
In my spare time I play guitar in a rock covers band called the “Bikini Bums“, and before that in the “Scuzzbuckets“. And going even further back in a punk band called various names, including “Pubic Dandruff“, “Diahhroea” and “Course You Can Brothers“. Occasionally I play bass in a funky band.
I love writing. I took part in NaNoWriMo in 2007 (completing a 80,000 word novel), have been on a comic script writing course hosted by Bryan Talbot and Hannah Berry, and have had the odd piece published here and there. I also write the odd short story when I have a moment.
I also do a lot of other silly stuff for fun. And have nearly all my photos on flickr under a CC licence so that they’ve cropped up all over the web from Wikipedia to Science Journals.
