I work on the web.

This is me, I work on the Web

I have been drifting in and out of the web since I turned 16 in 1999.

It was never my intention to make a profession out of it though. I just found that increasingly while preparing for medical school that I 'd take huge chunks of time off and just read source codes of anything I could find*. By August 2001, a couple of weeks before I was due to don my scrubs, I knew I had sold my soul to the CodingGod.

I moved to London, majored in Mathematics at university and upon completion chose Technology over Banking. I spent some time at BT where I got involved with the W3C, fell in love with the dynamism of web communities and the rest as they say is history.

I am co-founder of ZooTok and also currently employed by WooMe.

If i didn't work on the web, I 'd be probably be somewhere in Africa battling to solve world hunger. Probably.
