Hello everyone,
As many of you know, the most excellent Elliott Young left DigitalNZ
in late June. My name is Chris McDowall and I took over the role of
technical lead at the end of August.
It's been a pretty crazy couple of months. Two weeks after I arrived
we launched our search application refresh (
http://digitalnz.org/ )
and then ran headlong into supporting Mix & Mash, 2011 (
http://www.mixandmash.org.nz/ ). Things have vaguely settled down now
and I figured I should finally get around to introducing myself to the
group.
I'm looking forward to supporting folk in the development community
build cool things off the DigitalNZ API
My professional background is spread across web application
development, working with geographic data and information
visualisation. Although I'm particularly passionate about these areas,
I'm keen to offer my assistance to anyone who wants to make New
Zealand digital content more useful.
All the best,
Chris
