Simon Cross

I'm a product manager for the BBC. Currently, I'm working on social media and personalisation products including the social parts of the new BBC iPlayer Beta. I live and work in London.

Previously, I was a senior web developer for the Audio and Music part of the BBC working with sites like Radio 1 and Asian Network, as well as on events like Glastonbury and TV Shows like Later... with Jools Holland. I've worked on projects as diverse as bog standard websites, IPTV, podcasting or mobile devices.

Before joining the BBC, I worked at Chrysalis Radio (now Global Radio) as a Broadcast Engineer and web developer. I was involved the AudioAgain podcasting platform, studio builds and outside broadcasts. If you want to know more about this kind of work, I suggest you read the excellent book "How to build a Radio Station".

I occasionally Blog along with some of my colleagues at the BBC Web Developers blog. I normally code in PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
