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.
In the past few years I have been assisting my wife (a single-hander GP doctor) to run the IT in her practice. So I have acquired practical experience in EMIS (Egton Medical Information Systems) and medical IT systems generally, like “Choose and Book”. Also I am currently taking a training course “C# for the .NET Environment” to modernize my skills base.
I have been caring for my wife since March 2009, as she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis the previous year, and had retired due to ill health.
