Hello!

This is the home page of Colin M. Strickland.

I like to call myself cms. I'm a software developer, from the U.K.

I also have a blog

Here is my CV (PDF).

Right now I'm looking for work! Ideally remote, but if not, something hybrid or flexible based in the South East or London could work. I'm super experienced, and I'm more motivated by a great role than compensation. So I can be pretty cheap for a wizard! (for the right gig)

Ideally I want permanent roles, I love to build teams and culture, and I want to invest myself. However, I'm always open to the idea of interesting short term contract or freelance work. If you think you could use somebody like me, please get in touch. Résumé is above, email address is below.

I do stuff with computers and internets, mostly. I really enjoy building teams. Here's a list of some things I have done, that I am particularly proud of. Some of them were even quite popular.

  • I built the IMDb message boards.
  • I ran the last.fm databases.
  • I rendered the picturebooks at Wonderbly.
  • I was part of the Makeshift Studio gang, on team Wrangler.
  • I helped platform.sh imagine better clouds

I claim to be good at naming things.
