John Baker

• ● Co-founded and built the company's entire technical estate — the Amplifi-Qx platform (above), plus brand, marketing site, backend, APIs, mobile apps and business automations — serving enterprise clients across Europe in multiple sectors including hospitality, retail and corporate.

• ● Now in a strategic, non-operational capacity (remaining a company director), freeing capacity for external contract work.

• ● One of two directors of a B2B telecoms reseller (broadband, mobile, VoIP and IT services); led the rebuild of the company's technical platforms and internal processes.

• ● That rebuild underpinned a successful trade sale; the business was acquired by a larger telecoms provider for £1m, and the software I had built was later purchased by the buyer for a six-figure sum.

• ● 19 years developing and maintaining a business-critical global system recording the details of BT's worldwide IT assets, applications and infrastructure - long-lived, large-scale enterprise software demanding reliability, careful data modelling and operational stability.
