About me

Hello.

I'm one of the Admins on TSR. My official title is 'Product Manager', which basically means I'm involved with taking a new idea about either The Student Room or Coursework.Info and researching it (perhaps with the help of the site members) to decide the best way to proceed. I'll then work with our developers (Gossamerthreads) who'll implement the idea and finally be involved with at the testing, where again you guys might need have a part to play too.

If there are any site performance issues or bugs on the site, then I'm likely to be the person working with our developers to sort them out.

I've previously worked on several other aspects of TSR including being the community manager where I worked more closely with the moderators and members on TSR, in charge of setting up and optimising the adverts, which pay to keep the site running and also doing the customer support where I answered the emails we get sent in by people about both TSR and our other websites, such as Coursework.Info.

I first became a member on TSR way back in 2005. Since November 2006 I was a moderator in the Study Help section until I was offered a job with Acumen PI (the company who runs TSR).

I feel really lucky to be able to have this job where I'm able to help shape TSR so it can be the best student resource out there. Ever since I first became a member on the site TSR has been something special and I aim to work with everyone from the other guys in the office to all the members to keep improving TSR so it offers the best community, interaction, resources and functionality for all students to get the most out of the site.


You'll hopefully see me around the site quite a bit, but more often than not I'll be posting in About TSR, Dev and Bugs and Ask a Moderator - the areas where you guys can ask for help and put forward suggestions about the site.

A little quote...

Something so easy to forget when things may be tough or not going so well:

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
(Isaiah 41:10)

Remember this and take strength from it. God is always with you.
