A
little about
me.
Graduating from Bath University with an honours degree in Maths, I
worked at BAC Bristol for two years on hybrid (digital + analogue) computer systems. This
involved working with aeronautical engineers to simulate and test
aircraft design features using computerised mathematical modelling.
I then worked for Burroughs Computers selling accounting computers for 2
years before joining Benson Electronics, the English subsidiary of a
French company which had just started in the UK. The company sold
equipment into the computer graphics market and grew in size to some 100
personnel during my 10 years stay. My final position was UK Sales and
Marketing Manager, with a department staffing of over 30 employees.
Seeing opportunities within the computer graphics market, I left to set
up my own company - The Presentation Express in 1985. The company specialised in preparing presentation material for companies,
initially 35mm slides and overhead transparencies using computers, to
full blown computer animation and video presentations in the latter
years. In particular I designed and coded a bespoke database/presentation package for Legal & General
using the cutting edge software - Macromedia Director. This was a vast improvement on
the then current offerings such as Powerpoint, and the quality of their
presentations was highly regarded within the Financial industry.
Web design has been a natural progression from my computer
programming/graphics background - please
take a look at some of the examples which vary from simple one page to multi-page integrated database/shopping cart sites.
Each one has been created for maximum visual effect using "softened"
graphics images and colour balancing.
Streaming video (as per Youtube) has also been included particularly on the
Baitworks site, which also features a private "members only" section.
The Cotsold Carp Forum site uses the excellent phpBB
open source software.
