Tim Hodson

Tim has been discovering how things work and fixing them for over 10 years. His passion is to clearly understand what needs to be done, and do it well. Tim has used necessity to drive invention throughout his career by using creativity to generate ideas. He is a quick learner who likes to store up information for times when he can make the most of his new knowledge.

Tim has worked in public, academic and private sector roles, all requiring a consultant’s broad knowledge, and loves seeing the ‘penny drop’ in the eyes of those he is explaining new concepts to. When working with clients to implement projects, he imbues calm and conveys self-assurance.

Tim has experienced working with Linked Data in commercial settings and has seen the challenges faced by those new to the adoption of semantic web technologies.

“Tim is an excellent consultant, able to find and implement solutions to a wide variety of problems with challenging requirements. His breadth of knowledge was extremely useful in helping quickly overcome issues encountered during various projects and he was always eager to help and very approachable.”
