I have been designing and building websites since 2001. Around the same time I started reading sites like A List apart and Zeldman.com (there were others too, but these two had the greatest impact) on a regular basis, and became totally sold on Web Standards Guidelines and User Experience design.

I now work for ProcServe (an e-procurement system and service provider) as their “Front-end architect” - which basically means that I do all the User Interface stuff for our systems, including;

• Information Architecture
• Process Flow
• Screen designs
• xHTML & CSS coding
• Functionality prototyping and mock-ups.

ProcServe are happy for me to blog here as long as I point out that this is a personal weblog, and that the opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer or any other third party.

Prior to working for ProcServe I worked for our parent company PA Consulting as a User Experience consultant (basically doing all the same stuff, but for PA’s clients).

While at PA I worked with several PA ventures including: Aegate and AditOn (and ProcServe, before I moved across permanently) as well as with several other public and private organisations.

Before PA I did a bit of freelance web design while I studied Computer Science & E-business at Loughborough University.
