About Phil Stollery

I'm a creative and results driven web and desktop developer with experience of working for small to large organisations. I have successfully developed and integrated a range of IT solutions in a number of environments and teams. I'm motivated by leading throughout the entire development life cycle, as part of a team or as an individual.

Husband. Developer. Sensei.

I've been in the IT industry since graduating with a Bsc Hons in Computer Science in 1998.

I'm currently working full time helping Play.com become the number one retailer in Europe.

In my spare time I teach Ki Aikido, and my friends say, "You do websites, right?".

My friends are right, I've created websites for fun, for charities and for myself. I like to try new tools, like Google's App Engine, Django and jQuery. All the time with one eye on web standards, the other on usability.
