Speaking / Media
I've previously been a guest on a panel debating cloud computing, and been interviewed by various news outlets including CBS and Japanese TV on employment policies at work. I'm currently interested in speaking opportunities and/or running workshops on mobile app development, specifically related to Appcelerator Titanium. Get in touch

A job advert I posted in 2004 looking for a "non-smoker" and featured in a Sunday Times article lead to a phone interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC radio, and TV interviews with London Today, CBS and Japanese TV. A few years later I was asked to appear on a chat show on Irish TV which was debating the topic of smoking in the workplace.
Power Food - TV Show - Filmed August 2000
Hannah and I were featured on a TV show where we were followed around London as we had breakfast and lunch meetings with clients, played tennis (as you do) in the afternoon and went out in the evening with friends for a slap up meal. It was a fascinating experience into the making "reality" TV and an early pilot of "Made in Wandsworth". :)
