So, I’ve recently joined up with the guys at Rumble Labs as their new Technical Director. Over the past two years I had been working self employed as a consultant for several local and international companies (Which was an enjoyable change from being a company director before that). However late last year as work was coming in thick and fast and I needed to collaborate with a few local freelancers more and more. I decided it was probably about time to start a another company. However at around about the same time Simon (from Rumble) asked if I’d be interested in joining the team.

It was pretty good timing as coincidentally our lovely old office building in Belfast’s Linen Quarter was being condemned (sad face). So we decided to share a new office together and knuckle down on a few collaborative projects. After a good few months of that, things were working well so we decided to start the long process of merging companies.

The paperwork was the easy part! Now we have to start all the technical side of things. For one, I’m very happy about being able to cross off a life goal of starting a software development hub in my home town!
