My name is Theo Nicolaou. I graduated from the University of Kent with a 2.1 in Multimedia, Technology and Design (BSc). I am a Front-end Developer at the Natural History Museum in London.

Away from the computer, I like to watch all sorts of sports including tennis, Formula One and football (I am a big Spurs fan). I also like to play squash, table tennis and football in my spare time.

Career History

From June 2013 - December 2014 I worked at Capgemini as a Front-end Developer in the Digital Services Unit, where I worked on web sites and web applications for a range of clients.

From August 2007 - May 2013 I worked at Pearson Education as Senior Web Developer on a large-scale, multi-million pound project to redesign and rebuild PearsonELT.com (the main website for the English Language Teaching division). During this time I also worked as lead developer on ELTCommunity.com, where I was heavily involved in the front-end development for the launch of the site.

From October 2006 - June 2007, I worked at SMS Solutions company CardBoardFish, adding to my previous experience in web design and development gained at The Design Group before I graduated.
