The Initial Frame

A plain wodden frame to house the S.B.C and the two way mirror
Hello, and thanks for visiting my website! I’m a retired IT consultant with a background in designing data networks for large UK corporates. Throughout my career, I specialized in creating robust, scalable, and efficient network infrastructures that supported businesses in their digital transformation journeys.
Even in retirement, my passion for technology hasn’t faded. I continue to program and build websites, particularly for theatre groups, blending my technical expertise with a love for the performing arts. Whether it’s crafting seamless online experiences or ensuring the digital presence of local productions, I enjoy bringing creativity and functionality together.
