Work history

Currently freelancing on various projects
Creative Technology LeadTwitter
- London, United KingdomFull Time
At Twitter I was the Creative Technology Lead for Twitter Next in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East , African) markets.
This consisted mainly of defining technical architectures and solutions for any ideas that came up but also accurately estimating this work so that it comes within the budgeted scope. When the idea goes into production I then manage the engineering / implementation aspects of each project, including maintaining schedules, status reports and technical documentation.
As well as this I regularly help flesh out the technical aspect in pitches and help clients understand that portion of the campaign; if needed, also building prototypes of the suggested technical solution.
Outside of this I also served as the primary technical contact for third-party vendors and try to identify any unique partnership opportunities in the marketplace. Internally, I also liaised with key members of the consumer and revenue product and engineering teams to ensure Twitter Next had the necessary tools to build exciting work.
