I run a .Net team for an ad agency by day and by night I work for a handful of Internet-related groups pressing for social and political change.
I am a director of mySociety Ltd and a trustee of UK Citizens’ Online Democracy, the charity that runs it. I'm a member of the Open Rights Group Advisory Council and also helped found FaxYourMP.com and NO2ID, used to co-ordinate Stand.org.uk and have worked with MakeMyVoteCount.
I can usually be found wasting what I laughably call “free time” playing with Flickr and contributing to the Wikipedia projects, which might explain why I still haven’t got round to making myself a website.
