My company at the time was also credited in the Channel 4 series 'Hunted' from 2015, possibly because of my work on mobile phone triangulation.

Proud Moments

• I was part of the Working Group that developed Content Advisory notices (a way for online providers to label their content for suitability for children). It made its way into Internet Explorer 6 & 7, was supported by W3, and led the way for its successor, POWDER, in 2007.
• I created and ran one of the most popular blog directories on the Internet, Blogwise, which attracted millions of visitors and was featured in many books and magazines. It was briefly featured by Google and attracted international acclaim.
