Huh?
Portfolio?
But you're no
artist, are you?

Yeah, but why not?

It seems a shame that only artists, photographers and website designers get to display their work as a portfolio. This page is intended to give you a flavour of some of the projects I have been involved in over the years, either as instigator, principal lead, project manager or enthusiastic contributor.

I'm happy to forward a copy of my CV to whoever would like to see it, but you won't find one on this site. Sorry.

The Dymond Linking functionality allowed the user to search a whole world of chemical information with just two clicks of the mouse.

Chemsitry Preprint Server

Inspired by arXiv.org, but before Nature Precedings, ChemWeb launched a preprint server for chemists which I helped to spec and deliver for them. It received 888 papers, but was discontinued by Elsevier. The preprints still live on ScienceDirect, but you need to be determind if you want to access them.

TetSubmit

In 1999 we started work on a way for authors to submit manuscripts to Tetrahedron Letters online. It was so successful that we rolled it out to all of the Tetrahedron family journals and later all Elsevier journals (when it became known as Elsubmit!). Superceded by EES - Elsevier Editorial System.

PhysMath Central

In late 2006 I joined BioMed Central to extend the scope of their open access journal offerings to cover physics and, hopefully, mathematics. To date we have launched three journals in the PMC series and are currently looking to launch more in physics, but also computer science and engineering.

YourSpins.com

I spent a year working for an online music remixing site called YourSpins. The social networking aspect of community management was a valuable insight for me into how groups self-organise on the web and was also great fun.

Discrete Optimization

When I was in charge of the discrete math/combinatorics portfolio at Elsevier I launched this journal onto an unsuspecting market. Although in many senses it is just another math journal, it's one of my babies and I like to see it doing well.
