Hello. I live in London and work at the UK Parliament. I'm not a politician or a researcher. I'm one member of a service design team. I have a really interesting job and I'm proud to have worked with some extremely able and committed people.

If you're into public service delivery over the web, I'd love to talk.

The photo above was taken by Giles Turnbull and used with his kind permission: taken at BookCamp+PaperCamp, London 2009. I do really look like this. A sort of grumpy trainspotter.

Our team works on several projects, some of which are public, including Hansard 1803 – 2005 and the UK Parliament's Find Your MP service, although we didn't manage the look and feel.

I appear in a podcast called R2. I made Is The House Sitting and ParlyTweets. I use and recommend GitHub. If you're on Twitter, you can message me at @robertbrook. I run a few harmless Twitter bots. You may enjoy my Twitter favourites: I certainly do.

I post photos to Flickr, mainly from my mobile phone. I listen to music at Last.fm and using Spotify.
