© 2012 The Approachable Geek
I’m Oli Wood (and as I write this, I’m 30) and I run The Approachable Geek. I’m keenly involved in the North East tech scene, and in the last year have spoken at Super Mondays events and helped curate and compare Design It Build It 2010 and 2011.
Before setting out on my own I spent 2 years at thebgroup.co.uk heading up all of the digital side of the agency and before working for bgroup I worked at Accenture for three years on several large projects.
Prior to gainful employment I spent four years at Durham University leaving with a Masters in Computer Science and a trail of websites and involvement with my college.
Before university I built websites for a glass company in the late 90’s, you can find my employment history and hopefully a few nice words about me, on my LinkedIn profile.
I was born and raised in Cumbria, and outside of work can normally be found listening to Radio 4 in the kitchen.
