I'm Software Engineering Leader with extensive background in application development. 17 years of experience: 8 as manager and an additional 9 years as software developer.During this period I've built-up extensive commercial experience, I understand that to succeed in my line of work, you have to impress; and to do that requires up-to-date technical expertise, strong business skills born from experience, and the ability to translate briefs not only effectively, but imaginatively. Clients are demanding, they expect a quality service on-time and on-budget, and that’s what I provide.As technologies constantly evolve, so does my skillset; and with every project I undertake, my business skills are refined, enchanced, and put into action. Time-critical deadlines are a norm for me, and they're dealt with calmly and confidently; and when it comes to communication, I'm open-minded to ideas, I value opinions, and I treat criticism constructively; most importantly however, I make sure that what's being said is universally understood.SpecialitiesManagement skills• Being involved in a project from evaluation, conception and completion.• Ability to provide leadership, motivation and strategic direction to a multifaceted team.• Strong attention to detail, ability to work with staff at all levels within an organisation.• Proven ability to achieve results in very high pressure environments.• Can effectively work on own initiative, as part of a team, or as the leader of a group.Technical skills• Broad and extensive knowledge of the software development process and its technologies.• Knowledge of architectural styles and design patterns.• Understanding of various coding methods and computer languages.• Data modeling and database design experience
