My name is Lee Packham, I am 30 years old and I’ve been working in IT for over 10 years. However, like most people around my age I did a lot of hobby work before that.
I live in Central London, although I am from the South Coast of England from a small town called Shoreham-By-Sea (it’s about 10 miles West of Brighton).
I am an IT Consultant and there is more information about that on the Consulting page. I have a number of clients, notably Green Man Gaming (GMG) which is an independent digital distribution platform for PC games based in the UK. Green Man Gaming is working with retailers, etailers, social networks and media companies to generate substantial revenue through a unique and innovative digital solution. I’m very excited to be part of the founding team as their CTO.
Before starting in consulting, I worked for a company called TNWA Group which was a small, new, company targeting online gaming communities and providing them with sites and technology to make their experience better. I was employee number 2 there and was the first technical person. Quite a challenge I can assure you! I was the head of everything Anti-Cheat in the company. Which is fantastic fun.
Before that I worked for Elekta. They build linear accelerators to help treat cancer. I spent the bulk of my career, so far, there. I was a Software Engineer. In Elekta speak it means I architected, designed and built parts of the system. I specialised in the databases (I wrote a custom replication engine designed for medical data) and Operating Systems and Deployment. In short – I got to make Windows do stuff it probably shouldn’t be doing.
Currently I am doing contracting/consulting for a number of firms while looking for new full time employment. I also get to spend more time fine tuning some of my skills with iPhone Development, Ruby on Rails and C++ stuff.
In my spare time I enjoy sitting down to watch films with my wife, Christy. I also like gaming and like the PS3, Wii and PC Gaming scenes.
This blog is just a collection of randomness for when I get the free time to update/post on it! Hope you find things of use here.
