Jason Mayes

About me

Jason is a Web Developer, Programmer, Technical Consultant and Strategist, with a creative twist based in the UK.

Experience:

At time of writing, Jason works at Google as part of their Innovation Services team who develop and provide solutions that have never been made before for the leading large brand advertisers in EMEA (e.g. HP, Canal+, McDonalds, Coca Cola, Unilever, Renault etc) to the leading web properties (e.g. YouTube, MSN, Yahoo, MySpace, RCS, etc.) Media and Platforms Solutions (MPS) is enabling Google’s next $10 billion dollar business - display advertising.

Jason was also the co founder of Pure42 - his own company specializing in areas such as web development and design, digital marketing, usability, user experience, graphic design, digital advertising, social media and technical consultancy.

Prior to this he was a Senior Web Development Engineer at a global semiconductor company looking after their online developments, implementations, and digital strategy. During his time there he has helped to build the companies’ successful online presence as it stands today. He has also worked with world leading companies such as Akamai (learn more here ) in his quest for optimal solutions, and has been featured in a Computer World article related to "how to improve your website's uptime" (read article here).

Background:

With a background in Computer Science, it was here that Jason discovered he fitted in to a rare breed of what he likes to call "hybrid developers" - those who equally enjoy being both creative and technical. Combining these two qualities he produces bespoke, usable, and well implemented digital solutions in a number of areas.

Jason holds a first class MEng from The University of Bristol in Computer Science, and is a member of the BCS (British Computing Society). His final year thesis "reality mining using mobile devices and pseudonymous social networks" was novel in its implementation, and Jason went on to be shortlisted to the final three candidates in the UK for the "Best IT Student" category in the national SET Awards, which was judged by the IET. The SET awards are established as Britain's most important awards for science and engineering undergraduates.

When not pursuing a new technology or idea, Jason loves taking flying lessons, travelling, or practising his DSLR photography skills which he uploads to Flickr.
