Meet the team | A cut above the rest

Mike began his career in the legal sector before moving into e-learning in 2007. Drawing on his years of experience, he co-founded Titus in 2013. Mike’s main responsibility is managing our bespoke development projects where he deals with current and prospective customers in the UK and internationally.

Away from the office Mike enjoys spending time with his wife, Sara, and daughters Evie and Erin – especially travelling to Europe to ski or soak up some French sun!

He’s originally from Durham, so we still spend plenty of time trying to decipher what he’s saying, particularly when it comes to his ramblings about it “being Tottenham’s year”!

Majid has vast experience with all aspects of Moodle beginning with version 1.5 back in 2006, and is the go-to guy in the office for problem solving.

He currently manages delivery and customer support, allowing him to work closely with new and existing customers on a wide range of projects.

Outside of work, he’s a big Newcastle United fan which involves many ups and downs (mainly downs). He also plays plenty of football and runs a 6-a-side team in a local league.

Family is a big part of Majid’s life and he loves to spend time with his wife and two young daughters.

After working in IT in both the UK and Australia, Marcus taught in an FE college for 12 years and discovered Moodle in early 2003.

Prior to joining Titus, Marcus worked as an administrator and developer at a university, as well as working directly for Moodle HQ.

He’s the brains behind one of the most popular Moodle question types (Gapfill), has spoken at several Moodle Moots, and has published many related articles as well as several textbooks.

In his spare time he plays guitar and occasionally performs charity gigs as a solo singer songwriter.

Callum first joined the team as an apprentice whilst studying Customer Service. Now a full-time member of the team, he initially started in a sales support role but transitioned over to a marketing role earlier this year. His passion for creativity and out of the box ideas drove him to this position and he has already become a big contributor to our overall marketing strategy and vision.

As an avid travel fan, the international aspect of Titus Learning was one of the things that attracted him to the role. He’s recently started to learn piano, and coupled with his (questionable) singing ability, fancies himself as the next John Legend!

As the baby of the bunch, Connor has established himself as our resident Moodle theme designer and developer.

His excellent work on the Titus Moodle theme was a contributing factor to us gaining our certified Moodle Partner status. Working alongside Majid, he also assists with the support of our current Moodle installations.

In his spare time Connor spends a lot of time playing sports (whether that’s on the field or the games console), and is the resident office martial artist with a black belt in Karate.

Joe is a digital designer with over 6 years experience in the creative industries, on both the agency and client sides, and runs his own creative agency.

As part of the Titus team Joe has responsibility for both internal and external design projects. He brings a detailed knowledge of user experience design combined with a flair for striking visual work which translates into outstanding custom Moodle themes for our clients. He’s also the brains behind the Titus Learning brand, ensuring that all our digital media output reflects our values in style and quality.

When he’s not tied to his Mac, Joe can usually be found up a mountain – either biking or snowboarding – or putting in the hours at his local gym.

Jo has worked with Moodle since 2013 across a range of sectors, including private training providers, and FE and HE institutions.

She has a particular interest in the development of high quality online learning solutions, from the courses and resources contained within the platform to the development of complete online learning solutions and the courses, resources and processes required for them to run effectively.

Jo is a keen nature lover and spends many of her weekends in the Cambridgeshire Fens – come rain or shine – enjoying the local bird life. Also a keen gym-goer, Jo likes to work out in the mornings for a fresh start to the day!

Stuart is perhaps most famous for being one of the lead developers of the Moodle Bootstrap theme, on which all Moodle themes and plugins are now based. He has a strong background in both education and technology having joined the e-learning team at Sussex University in 2008.

Stuart has had a fantastic career so far, working with amazing institutions such as Blackboard, GOV.UK, The BBC, ARUP, MoMa, The British Museum in the aspect of education inside a VLE and in external apps or products. Stuart loves seeing the results of projects where he has been part of making the tools that create fantastic learning experiences and he’s really excited at the opportunity to help clients and partners at Titus achieve their aims.

Most of Stuart’s non-work time is dedicated to being a dad – football club, Pokemon Go, making games in scratch and building Mario, Sonic and Yoshi games in the real world using Lego. He’ll admit that he’s not the best at skateboarding, but with practice he’s getting better.
