Sam Welbourne - Development Team Manager

Sam Welbourne has been developing web applications since the turn of the century. He founded ergonet with John Martineau in July 2007 and thereby ensured that the core ARIA libraries can remain supported for years to come.

Before Ergonet he worked as a freelance management consultant as well as running a performing arts school and a recording studio in Bristol. It was during this time that the idea of managing artist representation and digital media on-line was originally developed.

Professionally Sam has a background in 3rd party Logistics with several years as a new business implementation project manager.
He started writing code through the demand for better warehouse operational analysis and this developed into becoming an application developer. His development areas include Clinical Studies (depot stock management with client liaison), Export Shipping and a variety of other operational applications.

Before his time in Logistics Sam worked in stage management and recording studios and this arose from his background as an artist (Bristol Polytechnic) and as a classical musician.
