About

 

So you want to know a bit more about me? Ok then, here goes…

 

As you have probably gathered already, I’m Scott, a web designer and developer living in York, England. Up until recently I worked at MyKnowledgeMap as a Front-end Web Developer where my role involved; transforming interface designs into standards-compliant (X)HTML and CSS, producing storyboards and wireframes to plan and map user interaction, and I also aided the marketing of the products and services MyKnowledgeMap offer.

This website is my portfolio, my weblog and also my playground for trying out new ‘things’; be them techniques, technologies, design principles etc. that I encounter on a daily basis working on/with the web.

Prior to working for MyKnowledgeMap, I studied at the University of Teesside for 4 years, with a year industrial placement at a now defunct digital media agency in Billingham, Teesside where I developed websites for Bannatyne’s Casino, Bar Bannatyne and Hotel Bannatyne. I graduated from university with a BSc in Web Development with honours after which I soon landed the role at MyKnowledgeMap.

When not working I enjoy social networking both on and off the internet, and have a strong passion for music, attending gigs whenever I can. I also enjoy watching films and mountain biking when I get the opportunity.

I am currently for hire, so if you think I fit the bill for a job or vacancy you have lined up either head over to the Contact page and fill in the form or send me a tweet on Twitter. More information about my professional background and career can be found on my LinkedIn profile. No agencies please.
