I am proud to be able to say that from tomorrow, 24th January 2011, I will be an employee of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
I will be working as a web developer on the Frameworks team, part of the Future Media and Technology Group. The BBC have long been on the list of organizations I wanted to work for (a list that included Yahoo! incidentally) so I am very excited about this new job.
I’ll be on the same team as one former colleague from the Yahoo! Front Doors team, Andrew ‘Bob’ Brockhust, and will hopefully get to work with other former Yahoo!s Neil Crosby, David Dorward and Mike Whitaker, who have also joined the BBC over the last few years. I’m also looking forward to meeting many more smart and talented people, and to having the opportunity to develop some great things with them.
Great news, hope you guys kick butt together there and this time get listened to more!
The Beep can consider itself lucky!
Congratulations Ian! I am sure, BBC has another accessibility advocate. Already, they are great and give respect to accessibility!
Good luck for your new assignment!
Yes, I think you can be proud. Congrats!
