Tribal Group, Cambs
Lead Developer (OCT 05 -present)

Cambridge Training & Development have an international reputation for the design and development of educational software using an array of technologies.

As a senior developer I often take a technical lead role in multiple active projects; juggling them based on priorities that change almost daily. The separate production and testing departments very much rely on the flow of work via the software department.

Projects vary from small information only sites to large bespoke learning portals, using open source applications such as Joomla and Moodle; to mobile activities; to CD and VLE based interactive learning materials created with our in-house SCORM authoring tool.

Due to the relatively small size of the company, I worked in most areas of the business. Ranging from meeting clients and preparing time estimates for jobs, through to designing concepts for various projects and occasionally leading a small design team.

The majority of my time was spent hands on, building sites, adding client-side and server-side functionality; working along side other developers. Almost all multimedia and CD-ROM related work was my responsibility. I have worked on projects for several large companies, including Nelson Bakewell, Pearson Education and Simoco.
