Jon Jardine is Development Lead at Two Worlds. He has a long background in both design and software engineering, authors in C++, Objective C, PHP, Javascript, HTML and MHEG/MHEG+ and, when pushed, will admit to having used Photoshop since it was called Digital Darkroom. He is a photographer of some note, with a number of books to his credit.
After studying at the University of Strathclyde, Jon worked with Glasgow-based consultancy Neil Baxter Associates from the early 1990s as a graphic, multimedia and web designer. His work included designs for many major clients, including Glasgow City Council, Greater Glasgow Health Board, Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, The Lighthouse, Scottish Enterprise and Sunderland Arc. The range of projects included major exhibitions, interactive touchscreen kiosks, promotional material and trail guides for festivals and events, books, websites and feasibility studies.
Most recently, Jon has taken the ideas of Ubiquity and turned them into a social media development system, also called Ubiquity, which now forms the basis of Two Worlds' development services. He is responsible for the interfaces and core development of the architecture for SlipStream.
Jon lives at the heart of Europe in Berlin, where the beer is good, plentiful and cheap!
