About me

I'm a long standing web publisher and developer, wrote some books on Accessibility and IT matters and live in London, England (north of the river). I am a net addict and started as a web developer while I worked as Audio Producer and news caster at a Radio station around 1996. The web is an amazing media to explore and you are ALL invited.

My work

I work for Yahoo! in England as part of the Standards Support and Strategy team. My job is to make sure that we produce great products by training people the right way and reviewing code constantly.

I also speak a lot at conferences and unconferences about what Yahoo! offers the world for free and my experience as a lead developer in my time. If you organize something, why not give me a shout, as I'd love to reach developers outside the normal "in crowd" of web events.
