I left Numark to study for a PhD http://www.numark.com From January 2006 to December 2008 (3 years) Cambridge, United KingdomSoftware Developer @ Sigmatel manufactured mixed signal silicon chips ideal for portable audio players - We developed a number of players for Sigmatel. During the Sigmatel era, I was mainly involved in developing the Numark HDX, a product licensing the digital audio hardware and software we were famous for that was shoehorned into a flagship disc-jockey product. I left Sigmatel to work directly for Numark http://ww1.sigmatel.com/ From July 2005 to December 2005 (6 months) Software Developer @ Famous for developing the first flash based MP3 player, we developed many digital audio players for Rio (including Carbon, Nitrus, Karma, Receiver, Central, ...)

SonicBlue was sold to Rio From November 2000 to April 2003 (2 years 6 months) Cambridge, United Kingdomsoftware developer @ I worked with empeg during the last year of my degree, and then moved to Cambridge to work with them full-time when I graduated. I conceived and developed the famous empeg sound reactive visualisations (Prolux Real Time Visuals) empeg was sold to SonicBlue http://www.empeg.com/ From September 1998 to November 2000 (2 years 3 months) Cambridge, United Kingdomdomain management @ I worked part time for GConnect during the last year of my degree - I performed pretty boring and unchallenging domain management tasks to bring in some cash, but learned about the infrastructure of the internet in the process. http://www.gconnect.net From 1999 to 2000 (1 year) Manchester, United KingdomOwner @ I started Pangaean Design to produce a range of greetings cards and numerous publicity flyers for club events in the North West of England. http://www.prolux.co.uk/flyers.htm http://www.prolux.co.uk/cards.htm From 1996 to 2000 (4 years) Manchester, United KingdomOwner @ I started Prolux Real Time Visuals to launch the real-time sound reactive visualisation system I developed. Prolux was widely used in the North West of England club night scene during 1996 - 1998. In 1998 I wanted to focus more on developing the sound reactive algorithms themselves, rather than doing the club gigs - Luckily I was approached by Empeg Ltd who wanted me to develop sound reactive visuals for their in car MP3 player, the empeg car. I stopped working on Prolux when I was employed full time by Empeg Ltd upon my graduation in 2000. http://www.prolux.co.uk/prolux.htm From 1995 to 1999 (4 years) Manchester, United KingdomEngineer @ I worked at Compex as a computer engineer whilst studying for my degree at Manchester University. From 1996 to 1998 (2 years) Manchester, United KingdomOwner @ I developed a range of educational software titles for Arrow Marketing - Some of these were conversions from the BBC micro, some new titles. The company also provided technical consultancy for some high profile clients. From 1994 to 1996 (2 years) Owner @ Virtuality was a disc based magazine aimed at users of the Acorn Archimedes computers. I was the owner and editor of this monthly publication. We ran popular columns written by a number of authors, and several 'learn to program' series which were very popular. Mentioned here under 'disc fanzines': http://foundation.riscos.com/html/features/02/mags/hist.htm Virtuality merged with Illusions disk based magazine when I needed to focus on my GCSEs. From 1991 to 1992 (1 year) Owner @ I started Intelex at the age of 12 in order to make some money by selling computer consumables (floppy discs etc) to schools in the South West of England. At the time, schools purchased their computer consumables from the Consortium group. I was able to undercut Consortium prices by almost 50% and was still able to make a 100% profit on everything I sold. Several schools in the Somerset, Avon, Devon area supported this entrepreneurial activity by a child.
