Over the last 10 years, Dan has been employed by a leading IT services company. Starting as a graduate in 1999, Dan has been employed as a web developer, system gateway interface developer, integration engineer and most recently as a senior integrator and solution designer.

Since the turn of the century, Dan's main focus has switched from web development across to Windows client and server integration and design. A Windows infrastruture generalist, Dan has been heavily involved in large scale infrastructure migrations (Active Directory, Exchange, File and Print services) working with 3rd party suppliers and internal teams to ensure continuity of service throughout.

Although Windows infrastructure takes up most of his time at work, Dan's computing passion remains firmly fixed in web development and he regularly takes on development projects using a mixture of XHTML, PHP (using CodeIgniter), CSS and jQuery outside of his day job.

Dan has been interested in computing since the '80s where he started out playing games on a BBC Model B. The constantly changing IT technologies keep him interested and excited about what will be possible in the future.

Life outside computing

A committed husband and father to a newborn son, Dan enjoys spending as much time as possible with his family.

He has spectacularly failed to write a novel in a month on no less than 4 occasions, but remains convinced that one day it'll happen.
