Hi, I'm Jamie.

I'm a developer at Blinkbox (http://blinkbox.com).

Currently leading an awesome team working on http://clubcardtv.com

Previous work includes Asos Marketplace (http://marketplace.asos.com) and I spent a year or so with Illumina (DNA/RNA research company in Cambridge, UK). I was a contractor for 4 years so there's a few London media agencies in there too.

I love programming and I love C#. Most of the work I'm involved in is Web based so ASP.NET MVC is a big part of my life.
