About Me (Or Dave as I’m otherwise know)

When I set-up this site I was working full-time as a website designer/developer with Armitage Online and quite a bit has changed since then.

I now spend most of my time flying planes around for easyJet, having held a pilot’s license for a while I was lucky enough to be offered a job with them at the start of the summer. So as you may have guessed that was rather a big change. It doesn’t however mean I don’t do web stuff anymore – it just means I don’t have as much time to do it.

So I still do work for Armitage just no longer on a full time basis. I also still do freelance work with two main projects taking up most of my time, that being working with rugby league site Last Tackle and trying to bring my own personal web stats project Stat Share up to date and working. I also try to keep up with some writing and also posts on here. I maybe busy but feel free to get in touch if you want to ask a question or just fancy a chat.

You want to know a bit more about me? Really? Ok read on.

I have over 5 years experience working professionally as a web developer and more recently a shift into some design work. Many moons ago I graduated from Keele University with a degree in Computer Science and Music Technology and went into working for a small company in Kendal. I then left and went to Warrington to work for the new media agency Carpe Diem where I got to work with clients such as Asics and GalxoSmithKline.

I then trotted off around the world to New Zealand to learn to fly whilst continuing to work on a number of personal and freelance projects. After returning to the UK I started working for Armitage Online Solutions, and have since moved on to work full time as a first officer for easyJet.

I’ve also written quite a few articles for websites such as Six Revisions, Smashing Magazine and NetTuts.

Outside of work? Well I do get up to quite a bit, lots of running and general keeping fit, watching a bit of Rugby League and mostly enjoying life in Kendal with my wife and a nice pint of cider.
