Nigel's role at TheDevTeam
Somebody needs to be able to bridge the gap between programmers and those who think purely in business terms and that's just what Nigel's role is. He does get his hands dirty writing code, creating databases and troubleshooting projects which is what keeps him speaking the same language as those who spend all of their time coding.
His role is to understand business requirements and then translate them into achievable targets using the skillsets available. As web technology continues to see an acceleration in development it is essential that somebody is able to communicate what is possible and how best to achieve those things.
About
Gone are the days of staying up late on a Saturday night and lazing around on a Sunday afternoon. Nigel has two small children and any spare time gets swiftly swallowed up and repackaged as "time to be a good Dad".
Previously Nigel would enjoy going on 30 mile bike rides across The South Downs, surfing and camping with mates. Soon Nigel, soon.
Prior to TheDevTeam
Nigel carved out his trade working in a software House in Surrey before moving to a commercial bank in London. The stint at the bank was fairly short lived as Brighton beckoned and the lights of life as an IT contractor were so much brighter.
Nigel's Qualifications
BSc (Hons) Business Information Management Systems from the University of Plymouth
A Levels; Economics, Accounts, Maths
11 A-C grade GCSEs and an AO in Maths
