About ocProducts

Chris is the original developer of ocPortal. He's a very well qualified and experienced programmer, and has also managed ocProducts from the start. He manages work for our clients, and also works to keep driving ocPortal forward. Chris has undertaken work for 15 FTSE-100 companies (that's 15 of the world's biggest), as well as many small and mid-sized organisations.
I am passionate about empowering people via software - opening up possibilities to people who have the ambition to achieve the very best but don't have a whole team to get it done.
Allen is a great designer who also has a technical background (he's actually the son of one of the early inventors of the Internet). Allen, also an expert in video work, is responsible for all creative elements in ocPortal - graphics, and also wider aspects of the design. His love for both creativity and technology makes him an excellent technical designer.
I believe design is about things looking great, but just as much about making difficult software ideas appear obvious. I love applying that creative energy to sculpt fun, natural experiences for everyone.
Haydn is a Project Manager for ocProducts, who joined the team shortly after they relocated to their Sheffield office. Coming from a background in public sector client management, Haydn is driven by details to ensure that each project exceeds expectations. As a keen Linux user and open source advocate, his range of skills makes him an ideal fit for the ocProducts team.
I am a self-confessed information junkie. Knowledge empowers an individual, but sharing it strengthens society. I believe that this is at the heart of the Open Source movement and is something I try to live by.
Robbie has been involved with ocPortal from the start, and while he isn't a programmer, he is heavily involved in feature design and testing. Robbie contributes to the feature design process with a perfect balance of technical experience and sense of user expectations. Robbie also serves as our Company Secretary.
I'm all about the user experience. Software should be enjoyable to use - whether that's due to cool features, or that feeling of gratification you get from seeing your site come together fast.
Steve recently joined ocPortal and has a background of project and account management within a website environment. While not a techie, Steve has had an interest in web development and Content Management Systems for a number of years — meaning he really knows what he's talking about and loves his job. Steve is very fast at getting to the centre of things and generating good ideas, and he's very detail orientated.
I see good communication and organisation as the key to ensuring projects run as smoothly as possible; while there may be bumps along the way these can be smoothed over if you have a good understanding with everyone involved.
