David Coveney doesn’t really like to talk about himself (no, really), but people like biographies. It’s best to call me a dinosaur, having started my IT career in the 80’s working on mainframe computers. Consequently I’ve seen the cycles of software technology as we continue to try and make things better through code. I run interconnect/it, a WP development firm in Liverpool, UK which is perhaps notable for developing The Spectator’s new site, Nottingham University’s many and prolific blogs, building CGIAR’s website as well as lots of other websites that have helped clients cut costs and get on with their work.

Oh, and I accidentally wrote a useful but dangerous little search/replace script that became crazy popular even though it was one of the smallest bits of work in my career!

In my spare time I used to race cars, go travelling and ride motorbikes. Occasionally combining these interests where possible. But now I have two toddlers in my life, so mostly I just go home and laugh with them whilst otherwise concentrating on building a business.
