Over the previous 10 years, I have established myself as an expert software designer and an accomplished application developer. My ability to work well with clients and communicate with them on any level gives me the ability to get to the heart of the real needs and design software that is powerful, yet easy-to-use.
I have experience in many different industries, which gives me a wide range of experience from which to draw when designing software applications. Having used tools such as
VB6, VB.NET, ASP.NET, Adobe Flex Builder 3, Actionscript 3, MSSQL and MS Access
, I have also built a requtation for delivering products that work well and are easy for end-users to understand.
My core competencies lie in requirements gathering, and complete software development - including DB and UI design.
