ABout Me

My names Darren Straight I'm 22 years old (11th June 1985) and I'm a Microsoft Student Partner (MSP), Windows Live Butterfly Expert and Tech Blogger with a BSc (Hons) Degree in Information Technology and Foundation Degree in IT from the University of Kent, as well as these, I have also received various other awards such as a Honours in Basic Shift Management.

My ambition is to work at the forefront of the ever expanding Information Technology Industry, either as a Technical Evangelist or an Enthusiast Evangelist. Though there's plenty of other roles I would love to do as I have a passion for Technology all round. So if you know or have any graduate job openings feel fee to ping me!  :)

Some of my hobbies include swimming, listening to music and beta testing for companies like Microsoft, mainly in the MSN/Windows Live division of software and services.

As well as these hobbies and many more, I also like to make new friends and participate with the community by joining in on forums, going to tech events/blog meet ups and of course blogging.

Some achievements I have include being a Microsoft Student Partner, a Windows Live Butterfly Expert and being a student member of The British Computer Society (BCS).

So what else is there to know about me, well what isn’t there to know about me would be a better question, seriously though, why not contact me sometime and have a chat as I’m always up for making friends and meeting up for a drink, especially bloggers, that’s why you'll be sure to see me blogging about the many events I attend, it’s all great fun!
