"I have worked for NYCC NYES Digital for 17 years and the Cirrus Team since 2014. Managed and developed the Cirrus server infrastructure and software infrastructure . Major project experience includes building and supporting large scale SharePoint sites. Other projects have included the development and launch various Education, Business and Local Authority websites. Web experience totals over 200 websites for customers.

I enjoy working in Cirrus as we are small but multi-skilled team and am proud of what we have achieved. Each project we work on is different and it's great to see the impact that the finished product has for the customer.

Outside of work I have a variety of hobbies and interests that keep me busy. I run a martial arts class twice a week and am also a qualified personal trainer. On a weekend I DJ at a local venue where I get to further explore my enjoyment of music."

"I joined the NYES team in February 2025, I had not long come out of university in which I studied software engineering. I believe I can bring fresh and new ideas to the team especially in the design aspect. I have done a lot of research and online learning into how graphical design works and how to apply it to templates. Using this knowledge and my software knowledge I hope to be able to bring consistently modern designs and bring new ideas to the team so that we can learn and grow as a team. I look forward to seeing how my time develops here in the Cirrus team and hopefully I can be an asset to the team.

A couple websites I have built are Pickering Community Juniors School, Springwater School and many others. One of my key roles is graphical design, I look at the most effective ways to use graphic and animation to enhance a user's experience."

"With over five years of experience in various tech and web roles, I bring a wealth of expertise to NYES Digital. Since joining Cirrus in September 2024, I have been responsible for delivering website content updates for all the schools on our Managed Service SLA, consulting on new website projects, and developing my first site for Little Explorers Nursery.

Additionally, I have been managing the NYES Digital social media accounts, with the goal of enhancing my skills in social media marketing. Recently, I completed a training course in marketing on LinkedIn.

Prior to this, I have worked for various organisations globally in roles ranging from IT web support and web development for the UK's top estate agencies to mixed reality consulting using Microsoft's Power Platform for businesses such as the BCA. I hold a BSc in Creative Computing speciailising in Web Development from Bath Spa University and a certification in Computer Science from the University of Adelaide.
