CV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé

I've been working in the music industry in some capacity for over ten years. This has included DJing, producing and remixing, running club nights, managing crew at live events, graphic design, running the New Media department at an independent record label, through to founding a digital music distribution company - Uploader. My knowledge of the music industry, technology, and the digital landscape was invaluable during the growth of this company. After more than two years of operation, Uploader was aquired by IODA in March 2007, and became their UK office. I have since left the company to pursue other ventures.

INTERNET PUBLISHING - I own and operate a selection of sites across various genres. My interest in Internet Marketing is useful for generating traffic to these sites, and I am developing and testing various methods of monetisation.

IDEATION - I am working on various web developments in an advisory, or product management role. These include social networking sites, community sites, and other online services. I am working on prototype/turn-key web-site solutions, but also offer consultancy and coaching for Idea Generation and Product Development.

Assignment History

(This Seller has recently been shortlisted or contracted for the following people4 assignments)

We are an online retailer of "real" personalized greetings cards. We are looking to build an application for Facebook users which will provide them with birthday reminders outside Facebook (ie through email) which will contain links through to our site. We are flexible in terms of what the application looks like in Facebook and open to ideas on any other functionality - whether we decide to approve any additional ideas is likely to depend on price.
Web Programmer / Web Designer: We need a good programmer/designer to build and develop new web site, along the lines of social networking (although a little different). The company is a start-up and has everything, including marketing in place and ready. The site can be developed as we go, although obviously the initial build will entail more work in order to launch a functional web site. Ideally we would like to find someone who is looking for an interesting project with huge potential.
Marketing Consultant: I am looking for an individual who has extensive experience creating marketing strategies for Internet start-ups. Your experience will lie in creating marketing plans that have grown social networking, community, classifeds, auction or directory sites from virtual unknowns to every day utilities. I plan to launch a local classifieds site to rival the likes of Gumtree, Craigslist and Thomson. It will be a classifieds site but with a social networking element to it as well.
Drupal Developer: I have a fairly large (2000 content items) Joomla site with a busy community. I'm looking to move over to Drupal with two key motivations for this being better SEO, multi-site functions and better social networking capabilites. In the first instance I'm looking for someone to advise me on how this can all be achieved and then, during January, to build the new Drupal site.
Web 2.0 Development Project: 3 elements to project: 1) build code base 2) design/theme 3) once launchd build relationships etc.. Build web 2.0 functional community site common code base - main point is customisable profiles, with events, news, artciles, links, top 100 lists (multiple), newsletters, banner ads, autoresponders, varied membership levels, ratigns of all content and user permission levels of all content (eg readers, writers, publishers, editors etc.) - classifieds, shops, etc..
