Prior to University I worked as a Telecoms Engineer designing and installing networks across Europe, all good fun. Post University I moved into the Mobile space working with established companies such as Phonesync, Bango, and Pitch (now PlayPhone) amongst others. I also work freelance helping on larger projects in Mobile.
Throughout all this I’ve built my own Linux servers with Apache, MySQL and integrated system monitoring with Nagios. I’m currently tinkering with Objective-C and software development for the iPhone with Xcode, examples of my work should be available from iTunes soon...

Following Me
I’m using Posterous to host my blog and I publish a mixture from my iPhone and desktop. If you’re interested in some of projects I’m working on you’ll find it all here at blog.fwd4.com.
At first I didn't 'get it' but now I like it as a short-quick information soak and broadcast. I tweet mostly from my iPhone, rarely from the desktop. Follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/fwd4.
We all know Flickr because it's one of the most popular photos sharing sites on the web. I’ve integrated my blog with Flickr so images I publish are shared on Flickr too. Find me on flickr.com.
I hope to use YouTube as a mechanism to show my newly created warez in action. Go and have a peek at the fwd4.com channel on youtube.com.
I’ve returned to LinkedIn after a little time offline focusing on other projects but now I’m back I’m linking my many of online profiles through their portal. I’m a strong believer of publish my professional persona on the web. Find me here on linkedin.com.
