With a Physics degree, Qualified Teacher Status and, above all, significant Drupal commercial experience - I bring to bear a professional approach that leads to quality training outcomes and client-pleasing Drupal websites.

I have worked as a software/technology trainer and a web-developer & consultant for a number of large organisations - including: Panasonic UK, Nokia UK, Exxon Mobil UK and Software AG.

My most relevant key skills are Drupal, PHP, mySQL, UML, XML, XSL, CSS, & SEO (I have significant integration middle-ware knowledge & experience too). I have worked on a number real-world, Drupal projects, both large and small, over the past four years.

DRUPAL TRAINING: I develop and deliver my own carefully constructed Drupal training courses. I have significant experience here - having trained for some large corporations including Oracle (Oracle/Siebel CRM platform) and for the industry leading IT training company in London - Learning Tree International (courses on Web Development, XML and UML). I am a fully qualified and experienced teacher too (BSc PGCE - don't you know) so you can rest assured training is professional, focused, well paced and engaging. Find out more >>

DRUPAL WEBSITES: I have been directly involved in web development, in one form or another, since 1999 - having previously graduated in Physics and taught for a few years. I have over four years experience as a Drupal Developer. I now use my skill set and experience to operate on my own account and offer businesses/organisations of all types and sizes a very personal and highly professional service - building websites on the award winning, open-source Content Management System (CMS) - Drupal.

My interests beyond IT include current affairs, politics, real-ale, wines, reading and walking the two old rescue dogs - Ralphie and Charlie (most routes allow for combining the real-ale interest too).

Cheers
