Co-founder and technical architect of a revolutionary mortgage affordability calculator, which enables those looking for a mortgage to calculate what they can afford based on their deposit figure alone and by varying options with a unique slider. • Created the innovative slider that permits clear visibility of the best available rates at different Loan To Values within the possible purchase price and that shows the monthly payments, stamp duty etc. that update as the slider is moved. • Designed the calculator so that it can be easily integrated into any website.• Turned it into a Mortgage Affordability Search Calculator by developing its intelligence to perform a search of available properties within the affordable price range at the click of a button. • Enabled revenue generation by including lead-generation functionality, a value add for brokers, and designed and created the system it sits on. • The calculator has had fast uptake and growth, with many large brokerages on board including Capricorn Financial & Open Work.

• Invented, architected and developed a distributed addressing framework called Application Services, which managed all security and underlining communication and data transfer with Databases, File systems or other data services, such as Active Directory, Email Services, Mobile messaging. It’s a unique framework and even today the closest are possibly WebDav and .Net framework principles combined. However, it has a far simpler addressing and access methodology that allows virtualised mapping of any data service or distributed tier into a single virtual address hierarchy, for easy access.• With talented developer and architect, Ashley Crick, joint developed and designed an in memory data format called World Data, used for holding anything including data tables, files and attributes. World Data is still used today and its closet example might be .Net datasets and XML, however WorldData was faster, easier to reference and could be streamed across the network faster than XML or Datasets.• World Data and Application Services were the foundation for applications and websites developed. • Developed and joint designed the majority of the Windows and Web Applications built at Equanet, from its CRM system to the full product ordering with real time customer to distributor pricing calculations, a complex task.
