An introduction to Colin Stewart.

Private Life

I've recently moved back to the UK having spent the last four years living in Toronto.  I keep an online Journal, started in 2001, and still updated on a semi-regular basis.  Topics include software, everyday life, politics of the EU, and photography.  I only took up photography as a serious hobby in November 2003 using my web journal as the place to publish my photographs.

Professional Life

By trade I'm a Delivery Manager in the Telecommunications industry, based in central London.  I started my career working for Logica on a gas billing and customer care product.  I then moved onto IP billing and provisioning, and then shortly afterwards joined Amdocs in Canada.

My years in Toronto were spent working as a Solutions Architect.  I worked closely with clients, lead development teams, and assisted with project management on a range of projects.  These ranged from small ISPs to large mobile telecommunications companies, standalone systems to deeply integrated components.

Outside of my professional work I've created a few open source applications and utilities (see my resources page), mostly in Python.  I've got a particular interest in content management systems for the web, mainly because there seems to be no accepted solution for this problem.

Here is a brief history of this web site.
