Paul May
About: My name is Paul May and I work for FRONT, one of the UK and Ireland's leading online agencies. FRONT creates exceptional web applications for clients across the UK and Ireland. We are passionate about the capacity for the web to make life simpler, happier and more productive.
At Web 2.0 I'm looking forward to meeting people who are passionate about great web applications. I want to learn about new technologies and form ideas for product and service innovations. I also want to meet potential strategic partners we can work with on future projects.
Personally, I have been working with innovation and technology for most of my life. My background is in web development, but I have worked with with human computer interaction systems, robotics and other innovative technologies.
