About me
What I do
I currently work as Head of Platform at Nature Publishing Group, responsible for driving platform-wide development of nature.com’s core online products, including content features, metadata, search and mobile.
Previously I was the Interactive Lead for the BBC’s online natural history output, including Earth News, Nature UK and Wildlife Finder. I was responsible for the editorial, design and technical development of these projects.
And prior to that I worked at the Future Media and Technology bit of the BBC’s audio and music department where I managed a team of Project Managers and was the Product Manager for the BBC’s comprehensive programme support – a page for every BBC programme (bbc.co.uk/programmes), Music Discovery project – a page for every artist the BBC plays (bbc.co.uk/music/artists) and their underlying technology. The Guardian wrote an article on my work while I was at FM&T for A&M.

This blog
Derivadow is my personal blog, where I ramble about my thoughts and observations on the subjects that I find interesting. Needless to say all the opinions expressed here are my personal views or shamelessly borrowed from others; they are never those of my employer.
Why derivadow?
Derivadow is Cornish for ‘information’ – I started using it as a username years ago and when I started this blog it seemed the sensible thing to use.
But why did I pick it? Well my family (on my Mum’s side) are Cornish and I needed a unique tag so I started looking for Cornish words thinking that they wouldn’t be that popular on the Web but would mean something to me, I ended up with derivadow.
