fishrod

So, two people from my course and I have got together to set up a small startup whilst we’re at uni, we’ve got no bills to pay so now’s the perfect time to try it out, if it fails, no biggie.

The company’s called fishrod (soon to be registered) and we will specialize in RIA (Rich Internet Applications), Scalable Web Solutions and Branding and hopefully soon move into Social Applications (those annoying facebook apps), for you techies we’ll be working with some amazing frameworks and JavaScript libraries including the Zend Framework, CakePHP, jQuery and MooTools.

I’d like to introduce you to Alex Waterhouse, our designer and branding expert, he’s done a few years freelance in design and branding and knows what he’s talking about, loves guinness, has a strange temperamental south african accent and is very enthusiastic! Siobhan Bentley, our all rounder, she’ll mainly be dealing with clients, admin work and making sure every one’s doing what they’re supposed to be doing when they’re supposed to and that projects are on schedule and on budget! Lastly me! Gavin Williams, 5 years experience in PHP and MySQL, 2 years JavaScript and 1 year C#.NET. Hoping this will be a great opportunity for us to have a feel of what it’s like running a business, we’ll still be freelancing however, mainly because we love it! and the people we work with. Website coming soon (as soon as Alex comes up with a bloody logo!).
