Web Stuff

Lorem ipsomething

Once upon a time this website was just a portfolio of web development work I'd done over the years. I realised this didn't define me. So now there's more stuff here, but it still serves as a general purpose CV with added blogging and less formality.

Studying MSc by Research Interdisciplinary Creative Practices in Edinburgh. Building a special Interactive Fiction engine, studying the Semantic Web from several angles, near-full-time freelancing and failing to find time to write fiction. For the next couple of days I'll be at FOWD London - say hi!

blog.rhiaro

I blog about web development, parrot behaviour and travel. Sometimes I put fiction on there too. The latest thing I wrote was Stylesheet organisation.

Portfolio

I design, develop and advise about websites, social media presences, that sort of thing. Sometimes for free, sometimes not. I aim to keep on top of ideas in this fast paced industry; I enhance things progressively and design things responsively. I'm hacking about with RDF at the moment, and excited about an Internet where everything is connected.

Academia

I'm currently studying an MSc by Research Interdisciplinary Creative Practices at the University of Edinburgh, having just graduated from the University of Lincoln with a First Class BSc(Hons) Web Technology. During that time, I also took part in undergraduate research projects, got involved with Student As Producer, won prizes at the Lovelace Colloquium and founded the University of Lincoln Computing Society. Starting in October, I'll be doing a PhD in the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics, about the Semantic Web.

The real world

I'm currently working with Fields in the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture as a developer for their Community Hacking project. This semester I tutored Masters level Design & Digial Media students doing the Dynamic Web Design course. For a few years I worked for the University of Lincoln Students' Union, and during summer 2010 I interned at Google London. That was pretty great. I've done various volunteering over the years, try to write fiction a lot, and other things too.
