About Me

I write therefore I am a writer.

These words are mine, and although they might lack in grammar or grace, if you look beyond these words you will feel the concepts I have tried to express. 

Much of the content here is technical, relating to my history as a developer. My future is in technical architecture, content strategy, enterprise content and giving guidance in these areas.

I try to publish something new every two weeks alternating between topics.

About This Site

This is the website of Antony Hutchison, the Adobe Day CQ5 CMS consultant based in London, England.

A potted career history

I graduated from UCE Birmingham with a Business Information Technology degree in 2000. I was fortunate enough to secure employment in the motor industry developing bespoke fleet management systems before I completed the degree, which I finished in a part-time mode.

The first five years of my career was predominately development using Microsoft technologies, such as Visual Basic, ASP, Visual C++, and SQL Server. I made the move into Java when presented with a substantial project to extend of an existing Java Tomcat JSP solution. This lead me to the Sun Java certifications, which gave more balance to my skillset. I've done some minor work in C#, and can see many similarities between C# and Java.

In 2006 I was introduced to Day Communiqué CQ3 and CQ4 working on projects for TNT Express, Clifford Chance, and Vodafone. I worked on the migration from CQ4 to CQ5 for TNT Express, and on the greenfield implementation of CQ5 for Robert Walters. I've worked on projects for a diverse range of organisations, including retail websites, corporate intranets, and for multinational logistics companies. I've also created sites using Java Spring, Umbraco .net, and PHP.

Now I'm working in London, primarily with Adobe CQ5 (now known as Adobe ADEP WEM) as a CMS implementation expert and consultant.
