About
Who is Hogtown Consulting?
Hogtown Consulting is just me, Patrick Dinnen.
As Hogtown I do technology and experience stuff. That’s a pretty broad description I realise, perhaps you can get an idea of what sort of projects I work on my taking a look at my portfolio.
1. building for good user experience and 2. furthering the aims of people doing good stuff (and also good people doing ok stuff, if I still need to pay the mortgage that month).
If you have questions please contact me.
Who is Patrick Dinnen?

I’m the owner, operator and chief bottle washer at Hogtown Consulting.
I get up in the morning because I’m interested in technology, and more importantly in the things that technology can do for us as a people.

I’m not great at this self exposition thing, I admit it. Here are a few things that might give you a feel for who I am and what I’m about:
- I was born and brought up in the north of England, here
- I was not at any point raised by wolves, though I’ve occasionally claimed it and my table manners might seem to support that claim
- Here’s what I’m listening to right now
- I now live in downtown Toronto with Loli the cat and Aimee the person
- This is my bookshelf at my office
- I read these blogs
- These are the web pages I’ve bookmarked publicly
- One day I’d like to visit Belize and Iceland, amongst many
OK, that should be enough about me for now. If you want to find out more, discuss a job or just say ‘hi’ then please do get in touch. Of course you can always read my blog too.
