The birth of a new start-up
This is the first in what will hopefully be an engaging blog. My name is Stuart Holywell, and I would describe myself as a technical entrepreneur. Since I was around fourteen years old I have been developing software in C++, Java and most recently the Microsoft .NET stack. Professionally I act as an architect, software consultant, business analyst and development manager - priding myself in the growth of team members and process improvements from both a business and development perspective. I also enjoy presenting, and have presented at Microsoft, Reading, U.K. twice and in North America.
For the last ten years I have founded a number of small start-ups (read: learning experiences) spanning desktop, mobile and web platforms; all have been a success, for a variety of reasons.
I currently reside in Krakow, Poland working as a development manager to help initialize a new development centre for my employer, Infusion. Work keeps me busy and well traveled; in the last two years I have travelled to London, New York, Orlando, Sydney, Toronto and Krakow.
This formation of this blog defines the inception of an exciting new initiative - this blog will outline the thought process, learning experiences, technological review and birth of a new product, company or web platform.
