I have 20 years commercial IT experience in software development. I have experience working in a number of business sectors including recruitment, education, telecoms, retail and logistics developing line of business applications using a wide range of technologies and platforms. I am the Head of IT for a leading managed services provider who specialise in the procurement of temporary resources into local government, councils and NHS trusts. I oversee the end to end development of the core product suite including our proprietary solution CR.Net. This includes the design, architecture, change management and the future roadmap of the products. I also manage and mentor the team of in-house developers using the Microsoft development suite of programs. I am also part of the Senior Management team helping to drive the success of the company as we continue to grow into other areas and opportunities. This additional responsibility has given me exposure to other areas of how a business operates such as tenders, planning, sales/marketing, HR and the financial aspects of the company. I am an extremely committed person who thrives on and is driven by success. I have excellent analytical, design and problem solving skills whilst maintaining a very strong technical background. My main technical skill set is based around the web development technologies along with databases. However I can quickly adapt and pick up new technologies easily and also get involved with the internal it infrastructure of the company. I continually keep up-to-date with the latest advances in technology and attend various seminars and product launch events.
