PROFILE

I am a very experienced Software Consultant/Engineer with a wide range of skills in programming, analysis, testing and system management, on many different platforms. I have worked at all stages of the software development life-cycle.

Most of my career has been spent developing Management Information Systems of one sort or another. Many of my skills I have learned on my own initiative and subsequently used professionally. Currently I am one of the most experienced freelance Clarify consultants in the UK.

I am familiar with IEEE software testing standards and SSADM design techniques. I have been instrumental in the drafting of software development standards and methodologies. I am very much quality motivated, and like to see all my assignments through to the end. I have worked abroad on assignments before and enjoy traveling.
