It all started when I was gifted a broken IBM 286 at age 10. I hadn't a clue about computers, but I oozed curiosity and desperately wanted an escape from hand-writing my homework. After many days of obsessive tinkering, I found a fix. The first sounds of the fans whir, the floppy drives rattling away, the frugal HDD revving up, and the CRT flicker into life was the symbolic booting of my life-long fixation with tech and the joy of making things work.
Fast forward to today; I'm CTO & co-founder of OnCare – a SaaS platform for the domiciliary care sector.
Prior to OnCare, I had worked for companies big (BBC, Yahoo!) and small (Moo.com, Thread.com) using an eclectic mix of programming languages, frameworks, cultures and people and I feel blessed I get to work in this vibrant industry.
I would summarise myself as a customer-obsessed technologist who stops at nothing to deliver superior quality software.
I created a service to aggregate calendars, weather, news and more to synthesise it in email form every morning so I could start the day better informed.
