About Adrian Johnson

Picture of Adrian Johnson.

Hello. I'm Adrian Johnson, and I'm responsible for everything on this web site. I've been developing software and creating web sites since the 1990's, and I now run my own business.

The Story So Far
I grew up in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, and tinkered with computers either at school or when my parents bought a Spectrum 128k+2 in the 1980’s. When I completed my A-Levels in 1993, I went off to a college in Lincoln to start a Computing degree. My placement year was spent at a charity in Doncaster, where I developed a database system for them using Equinox (never seen or heard of Equinox since), and graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 1998. I also got married, to Mandy, in May 1999.

The World of Work
My career started in 1999 at a company called Direct Valuations in Nottingham. Besides working on the helpdesk, I was also given the opportunity to look after their in-house applications.

Since Direct Valuations, I had a stint at the Education Department in Nottinghamshire County Council, and then joined a small independent company in 2003. When I was made redundant, I decided that I would start my own business.
