This is Kevin - bad boy turned consultant. He's busy building the onefinestay machine, and with his passion for powerpoint and Transformers, there's no man better qualified. Kevin DJs in his spare time, hates Aubin and Wills and will be found on the weekends in East London's latest 'pop-up' something or other. 

When did you join onefinestay?

July 2011

And what is it that you do?

I am building the onefinestay machine. I document and build the business processes that make onefinestay work, and help develop the specifications for the software team to support those processes.

Where do you live in London?

In a couple of weeks I am moving from the hipster-haven of Hoxton to hipster-haven - London Fields. Ever since I moved to London I have always lived in Hackney. It captures everything that’s amazing about London; it’s so diverse, where beautiful Georgian townhouses sit metres from sixties housing estates and there’s always a new pub or shop to discover. 

Where do you wish you lived in London?

De Beauvoir-still in Hackney, this is one of the nicest “villages” in London that I have ever seen. Gorgeous townhouses, upmarket delis and amazing gastro-pubs, and all only a stone’s throw from Shoreditch, Dalston and Angel. I think if I lived there I would never need to go further than a mile from my home ever again.

What is your favourite type of tea and why?

I always used to be a big fan of English Breakfast with a tonne of sugar and milk until quite recently. I still like my trusty builders’ tea, but my eyes were opened when I tried delicious Chinese Oolong, best served from a copper teapot into a fine china cup!

When making a cup of tea, do you pour in the milk or the tea first?

Whichever comes to hand.

Who would be the guest of honour at your dinner party?

David Attenborough-I could listen to him talk all day, and I don’t think there are many people alive today who have seen the things he’s seen

When did you last get lost?

In Plitvice in the Croatian interior. It’s an amazingly verdant lake district only a 100 miles or so from the capital Zagreb and one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Unfortunately the Croatians are not so good at marking their footpaths and we spent hours wondering in the baking sun trying to find the ferry back to the park entrance.

When did you last have an epiphany?

About 6 months ago when my colleagues started leaving the consultancy where I worked and going to work for start-ups, I realised there was life outside the city and that that was where I wanted to be.

What is the furthest North you’ve been?

My birthplace -Jasper in Alberta, Canada.

What was the best experience you ever had on holiday?

Taking the Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Ulaanbataar. Being on a train for 7 days with a group of strangers, with miles of emptiness stretching away from you in every direction and unbelievable scenery is an experience I’ll never forget. 

What is your favourite spot in London which you wouldn’t find on a map?

The lookout point in Greenwich near the observatory. It gives a completely different perspective on the city to the one I normally see from North London and the views of the o2 and Canary Wharf are just fantastic. 

Tell us a secret.

I have the the decepticons insignia tattooed to my body… but I won’t tell you where.  

What will the title of your memoirs be? 

Before consulting: Tales of a rebellious youth
