THELMA Awards

A work thing rather than a me thing – our Room Finder project was shortlisted for a Digital Innovation Award. It was a good project, and the innovation angle came in the building on prior Data integration projects to join disparate stuff together in a coherent way. I didn’t expect to win and we didn’t, but as I’ve done more innovative stuff for less, I’ll take it. I wore a bow tie and dinner suit. #innovation.
