Summary
My skills are mostly experience based. From 2000-2008 I worked for New Zealand Police as their E-Publishing Coordinator – primarily in charge of www.police.govt.nz and other police related sites. As a partner in Kennett Brothers Limited since 1995 my experience has been wide and varied! I believe projects must work within a social/political setting and therefore evolution often works better than revolution. I like simple low-energy solutions.
My primary skills:
- I understand how computers work
- I understand design
- I am good at interpreting people
