Hello, I’m Sean and I’m the Chief Technology Officer here at NetSafe. I’ve been with NetSafe since 2007.
I have worked in the IT sector since 1993 both here in New Zealand and in the UK, and I was also a secondary school teacher, teaching Science and IT.
My particular areas of interest are digital citizenship, instructional design, the uses of social web applications, social marketing and user interface design.
Some of the projects I’ve been involved in at NetSafe that I am most proud of include “Netbasics”, “The Whatsit”, “In My Day” and “The Scam Machine”.
