IT Consultant and manic advocate of Open Source in professional business solutions.

James Firth runs Dalton Firth Limited, and is currently working on a LAMP oriented knowledge management, workflow, project tracking and executive reporting tool for road maintenance schemes. The tool interfaces with various external data sources, and provides users with a consolidated intranet-based front end.

Who?

Technical Architect. What does that mean? Well I try and get teams of techies to all pull in the same direction and work towards a common goal. Security Consultant.

So you're a project manager then?

Nope, PM's are non-technical, they care about resources, you, me, time and milestones and deadlines. I care about delivering something that works, not whether it's on time or to budget :-) I also tend to design the "thing" behind the project. I currently work for a large telecoms company.

Michael-John Turner, random geek

I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa, but now living in Surrey. By day I work as an SAP consultant, attempting to use open source wherever I can. By night I play with real computers (no, PeeCees are not real computers) and hack on whatever itch needs to be scratched.
