‘Calm, Quiet and Observing he is‘ would be Yoda’s statement of Sean, who at eight began on his technical journey playing with an oscilloscope.
Sean is the IT Manager and is responsible for all the Information Technology in place at Bower Bailey including the strategy, policies, systems and network design, project delivery and application development as well as the corresponding support and training. He also constantly evaluates business processes to examine where IT can play a part to increase efficiency and/or reduce risk.
Sean has managed Bower Bailey’s IT systems since the late 90’s taking it through numerous Hardware, LAN/WAN and Software refreshes as well as implementing various new technologies including Visualfiles CMS, Digital Dictation, Speech Recognition and Virtualisation. As new technologies and systems are introduced he also ensures that any available integration and/or automation methods between these systems are realised to their full potential.
Sean is also a partner in Bower & Bailey LLP.
Areas of expertise:
Sean is relatively clued up with most things that have:
- Flashing lights
- Buttons
- Switches (so one can turn it off and back on)
- Plugs
- Fans
- Colored wires and cables
He is equally at home in front of a keyboard and screen full of conditions.
Recent work:
Some of his more interesting achievements include:
- Construction of a small fence in garden – with integral gate!
- Boarding the loft.
- Completed Angry Birds.
Personal interests:
When Sean is not enjoying time with his young son he might be found with a pair of audiophile headphones on listening to some vinyl, expanding his audio FLAC repository, tinkering with helicopters and aircraft, following events and technical developments in Formula 1 or even still messing about with an oscilloscope!
Lately Sean has also started a new hobby, although the subject is not new to him! He has started restoring and collecting old computers made by Data General Corporation which he used in his first job. You can follow his journey with these restorations here: https://www.datageneral.uk/
