My main focus is analytical programming and designing databases. What I love most about my role is understanding and interpreting client requirements, and translating them into a technical brief.
A degree in Medieval Studies was not the most obvious route into computer programming. After leaving university I joined the graduate scheme of an IT department in 1999 and was trained in analytical programming for a mainframe computer. I transferred to PC programming in 2001, and from there to developing applications for the web. I worked as a senior web developer at a small agency before going freelance. I co-founded Iteracy in 2007 with my business partner (and husband) Mat.
My first computers were a ZX Spectrum followed by an Atari ST. I can still see and hear the graphics of The Hobbit loading from cassette tape, and have many happy memories of hours spent playing Rainbow Islands.
