Gareth Rushgrove is web developer based in Cambridge and working in London for Global Radio. At work he spends most of his time writing Python and Django based applications or tinkering with testing tools.
In the past Gareth worked on everything from successful marketing campaigns to enterprise content management and financial service applications. These days he’s generally found shouting about the benefits of APIs, XMPP and embracing the web as a platform.
When not working, Gareth can be found blogging over on morethanseven.net or uploading code to github.com/garethr. He’s previously kept himself busy organising a BarCamp in Newcastle upon Tyne and starting the Refresh Newcastle user group. He also helped out on the board of the Thinking Digital conference last year.
