Humble Technologies is owned and run by myself, Stephen Butterworth. I have many years experience in developing enterprise scale web applications. I have a 1st Class Honors degree in computer science, but don't let that scare you. My passion is for high quality simple solutions to problems. I have always felt that the IT industry spends a lot of time and money on projects that never realise their ambitions due to complexity and politics. By communicating expectations and delivering incremental releases to clients I believe that the pain can be taken out of web development and clients can be pleasantly surprised by what they get for their money.

I love Ruby on Rails as it enables me to deliver bags of functionality in a short space of time so my clients get great value for money. I am also a passionate web designer and have a strong belief in standards compliant web sites using XHTML and CSS. For years I have specialised in creating rich web applications with extensive use of Javascript. This kind of rich application has taken off with the buzz around AJAX and people are starting to expect a rich experience in their web browser. I recently released our first public service sizeasy which has had a great response from around the world with hundreds of thousands of visitors and many editorials across the web.

We are based in Cambridge, UK but have clients all over the world. Although I like to meet clients face to face when possible in this day and age it is possible to build great working relationships without face time.

One of my key areas of interest at the moment is usability in web design. The web standards movement is gathering pace and finally after years of divergence it feels like the main browsers are starting to come together and take a pride in standards compliance. This means its now becoming more and more possible to write XHTML and CSS that work across many browsers without having to write specific code for each browser individually. For more of an insight into what I'm working on take a look at my blog which concentrates on design, Ruby on Rails and Entrepeneurship.
