JOHN HOBSON

JOHN HOBSON

LEAD ARCHITECT

John is a committed IT professional with a broad range of expertise from his 23 year career in website and app design & development.  

He can do all of the technical stuff (front-end coding, back-end architecting, databases, APIs etc) alongside User Interface design (creating sites that are easy to use and update), requirements gathering and project management.  

John is great at translating technical concepts into easy-to-understand language.  His relaxed but focussed style means that projects run smoothly with little drama and acheive high quality outcomes.

John started tinkering with computers from an early age and gained a Computer Science BSc from Sheffield in 1999.  Prior to founding Damselfly Creative in 2011 John worked in leading web development and management roles at learndirect, an early e-learning pioneer and Edinburgh Business School, who run the second largest online MBA programme in the world.

Outside of running Damselfly Creative, John loves big adventures both on two wheels and two feet, playing guitars, making effects pedals, whittling wood, tinkering with Raspberry Pis and spending time with his family (preferably outdoors!).  He is also the manager of his son’s grassroots football team.
