Key to web project lifespans

the couch

j-dom Magazine

the free e-democracy project

I founded the free e-democracy project. This project evangelised the use of Free Software in government, warns of the dangers of technology in voting and also produced the GNU.FREE Internet Voting system.

I'm a co-founder and maestro of a hibernating story-telling site the couch which has won critical acclaim for the stories and their presentation.

Education

I've been formally educated in the United Kingdom all my life...
Belmont School > Worth School > University of Warwick > University of Sussex

Scholarship: I was awarded 50% off the school fees for my Secondary school education.

General Certificates of Secondary Education: I achieved 7 A*s and 3 As in my GCSEs.

Advanced Levels: I took modular A-Levels and achieved an A in Physics, an A in Chemistry, a B in Maths and a B for French for Professional Use A/S (half an A-Level).
I also studied but did not sit modules from A-Level Biology and Computing as well as GCSE Electronics.

Degrees: BSc(Hons), MSc, DPhil (in progress)
Graduated from the University of Warwick with a 2:1 Bsc(Hons) in Computer & Business Studies (50% Computer Science and 50% Management Science). I was also awarded a prize for producing the best project of the year which resulted in the free e-democracy project being started.

I completed the Technology & Innovation Management MSc at the Science & Technology Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of Sussex in 2003.
