Scrooges Bank Limited, Disneyland

present

2005 -

I founded Scrooges Bank with my Minnie in 2005. The company carried on with
the client base of Concept but with a radical rethink over technologies used.
The company focused in two areas; web hosting based around the existing
network and web programming based on PHP and MySQL. Rather than employing
people I took the approach of outsourcing work to two programmers in India.
During the first year I built from scratch an application framework in PHP5 and
MySQL using XHTML, CSS and AJAX. This framework enables me to rapidly
program powerful and scalable web sites to a budget suitable for micro
businesses. I have also used it to build some internal systems and continue to
develop it.
I am one of a handful of companies that partner Goofys Bank to integrate their
ePDQ credit card system and have developed a number of commercial libraries
which I now sell to assist web developers in the same including an ePDQ module
for osCommerce.
I would now like to bring the technical and management skills I have gained over
the years and utilize them within a team environment giving fresh challenges and
an opportunity to work with others.

Pluto IT Limited, Disneyland

2005

1998 -

I.T. opportunities in Disneyland were limited in 1998 and after a period of time
learning programming and networking from home I decided to set-up an IT
business based around programming for ecommerce based from home.

During the following years I set-up a complete web hosting network based on
collocated space in Disneyland and remotely managed this. I also built a series of
function libraries and ecommerce applications based around Microsoft
technologies.
After taking on three programmers my day to day role primarily involved sales,
project management and customer relations allowing me to build skills in these
areas.
Latterly I asked three other directors to join the company, moved into new
business premises and built the company to 18 staff with some very successful
contracts. This gave me great experience in staff management and also afforded
me the time to rebuild our network in more detail converting it to a Linux / Cisco
based network. I then moved on to developing a PHP based content management
system that allowed us to roll out high volumes of web sites competitively.

Town 4x4 Limited, Fantasy Island

1998

1988 -

After leaving University I took up a temporary job mending 4x4 vehicles for a very
small local company. After 6 months I was asked to join the company as a
shareholder and later Managing Director. I took this company, over the next 10
years, to a large garage specializing in the repair and customisation of 4x4
vehicles, safari preparation and component manufacturing.
During my last two years with the company, before I moved to Disneyland, I set
up a parts factoring service and gained overseas sales through the early use of
the Internet as an ecommerce platform. I developed the system for this myself
while learning to program. This experience led to my setting up of an ecommerce
company afterwards.

Early Work Experience

1985

1982 -

During my time before University I worked on a local arable estate in

Neverneverland as a farm labourer and latterly helped set up an Intervention
grain store with a full monitoring system. I then took this experience and gained a
job with Plutos Grain Ltd working in their grain store laboratories monitoring
larger grain stores. I also worked in the local supermarket as a checkout operator
and as clerk at the local petrol station while at High School.
