About

My name is Will. I'm an Australian from Sydney living in Berlin, Germany.

I'm a product creator, Scrum and Agile advocate, web enthusiast and change instigator. I work for Nokia and I am the Product Owner of Nokia's web social location platform, maps.nokia.com.

I love the web... I love the openness and the connectedness. I love that the internet gives everyone a voice and the power to create real change, and I love seeing the creativity behind the ways people use it.

When I'm not working on maps.nokia.com, I'm building apps for Windows 7 phones.

Places

Travelling is one of the greatest privileges of our generation. Travelling teaches you not only a great deal about the world, but a great deal about yourself as well.
