About
I am James Jackson and I'm web developer with a passion for the internet and technology. My interest in the internet started very shortly after first getting online. Since, I have developed my own skills and created countless websites. At the height of my webmastering my sites where reaching tens of thousands of visitors a day. I now work as a Techinal Support Engineer at Jadu.
Breif History
In 2005, I enrolled at the University of Leicester to study Computer Science. While at university I kept running my websites. I graduated with a 2:1 degree in Computer Science (Honours) BSc.
Before I finished university I secured a job with Xervia in Nottingham, UK (owned and ran by Mike Duma). During mytime at Xervia I was involved in TalkBizNow and other large projects. Xervia suffered cash flow difficulties and was liquidated at the end of October 2008. For 3 weeks in November 2008 I worked for the Health Sciences Department at the University of Leicester creating their new departmental website using the Plone CMS, before joining Quvex (owned by Mike Duma's mother and run by Mike Duma).
Following cash flow problems at Quvex, on the 13th of October 2009, I joined Jadu as a Test Engineer, tasked with creating a system for automated software testing. A year on I am now a Technical Support Engineer, supporting clients on a day to day basis. I continue working the automated testing.
Outside of work I continue to do some of my own websites and projects. Current projects include a Content Management System and php Framework, a community based site (more details to come), 3D jQuery carousel, and a few others. More details can before on my Projects page.
