About

I’m Steve Parks, an entrepreneur, geek, writer and foodie, living in London, England. I began my career as a journalist with the BBC, but then launched my first business at the age of 25 (which was an independent production company supplying the BBC). I’ve launched a few businesses since then. Some have worked, some haven’t — but I’ve learned from them all.

Here are more details about each of my areas of work and interest:

Work

I’m one of the founders of Code Enigma – a web consultancy for global media companies. The company was formed after I merged my company, Pilot Internet, with another company in 2010.

I’m interested in open source software, and the Drupal content management framework in particular. I’m also a computer and gadget fan – but not just for the sake of it.

Writer & Presenter

I write books and articles about entrepreneurship, business and technology. My books are published by Pearson’s Prentice Hall Business imprint in the UK and by other publishers internationally. You can find out more at my Amazon author page.

I also present on stage at large business events and conferences (often acting as the host or moderator for the event too). I also present live web TV programmes about business for companies such as Natwest and BT.

Leisure

Above all else, I’m a foodie – whether eating out or cooking at home. You’ll find plenty on this blog about my adventures in the kitchen, or experiences in good restaurants.


Other than that you’ll find me hiking (I’m doing the South West coastal path stage by stage), sailing, climbing, or just generally outdoors.

But there’s always time to relax too…
