Hi everyone, I am a project manager working at Historic England, working with the Greater London Historic Environment Record team (hi Stuart) and a number of colleagues on Arches here, so that we may be able to provide access to the HER on a much greater scale than what is currently possible.
I've just met Ed, who works here too, and he encouraged me to say hello here, so here I am! In the past, I've worked with a number of different open-source platforms (Drupal, WordPress, Magento) in digital agencies and software companies, and weird and wonderful ways of them being deployed to carry out a number of different things, such as jobs platforms, document management systems to help plan hospitals, performance review systems, digital catalogues and furniture planners, trip planners and tourism websites, an airport website, websites for supersonic cars, as well as flashy websites for generic marketing purposes. What is your interest in Arches? I'm here to bring my knowledge and experience in working with digital projects and different ideas, and realising their potential. Working with fascinating subject matter such as that within Greater London's historic environment is certainly a key aspect of the job. Where am I working? I work mainly in sunny Swindon, at The Engine House, where we are currently engaged in a number of different Arches-related projects. As I work closely with our team in London, I am often there too, mainly pestering people about estimates, documents, and deadlines. What can I see out of the window? I can see (when in Swindon) a lot of the old railway works, as well as the shiny new but dysfunctional trains that are running along the lines. Up in London, you'll mainly find me gazing out the window onto the Thames and the London skyline, either side of Cannon Street station, including two towers which are part of the original station, as our office building sits atop the current station and the railway bridge. Anyhow, I'll chip in here now and then.
