About me

Hello, my name is Shaun McCran here's a bit about me.

My school years were spent overseas, in the middle of the 90's.Com boom, which sparked my interest in IT and software development, that set me on the path to becoming an early 30's web geek. I have a great love of tech, whether it's online or gadgets; I think the way that our lives integrate with IT now is a modern digital revolution.

I was a software developer for over fifteen years, and have used a variety of different languages and methodologies to create online user experiences. I was predominantly a server side developer, but over several years I branched out into the client side arena (JQuery, CSS, AJAX, JSON). This has also lead to some very interesting charity based projects and web Accessibility training.

The natural transition for me from development was into Architecture. The last ten years or so have seen me moving through several Architectural positions, from Telco to FSi. I'm now the EMEA partner Architect for 'Customer Journey Management' (Marketing applications, to be plain) at Adobe. On that note, this is me disclosing that I work at Adobe and the thoughts represented on this blog are my own and do not represent the thoughts of the company.
