This requires a sophisticated system of remote database synchronisation through a web service, to allow users travelling round the world to use their systems in real time with bi-directional synchronisation of databases.• I designed and let the implementation of the “Latches for Windows” security suite which was the core of IT security strategy for a number of very significant secure operations around the world including government departments, MOD establishments, NATO, US Navy, US Police and others.• A suite of computer benchmarks that for several years formed the core of the procurement process for a number of major UK corporations. These were the standard for several major IT magazines, and were a key part of a technical TV series.Specialties: Designing software that actually fills real-world needs, that is reliable over long periods of time, and that people actually like to use.
