I have over 30 years of project focused software development experience, including leading from the front as architect and technology lead. This experience covers Greenfield software design, project engineering, project management, systems design, development and programmingI have successfully completed development projects in a variety of industries … including Manufacturing, Accounting, Advertising, Airport operations. E-commerce, TV and Broadcast Production, Health Care, and Logistics.My earlier career bean in food processing industry project engineering and automation, leading to integration with and then bespoke development of business systems. Particular those with real time and mission critical focus. My recent experience is based on the Microsoft Windows platforms with more than a decade developing for desktop applications, back-end services, N-Tier stacks and web MVC.With recent paradigm shifts to web hybrid integration I have been building both real time and offline capable (distributed) systems and solutions, using multiple Microsoft technologies (Including .NET C#, VB.Net, WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, WebForms, MVC, Azure and Xamarin Mobile platform).In my current role I have built back-end services in WCF (for legacy applications), WEBAPI and/or REST for new integration projects (using latest .NET Core and AspNetCore hosting frameworks).I have broad development range that allows me often to switch between multiple platforms and languages at the same time. But I can also go deep into complex and challenging technologies, while still maintaining the high level overview to correctly integrate the detail.I am a good communicator, able to explain complex systems and jargon in terms understandable to end users though to senior management. I thrive on regular customer interaction and derive great satisfaction from seeing projects through to delivery and final commissioning.My leadership skills are combined with a proven ability to mentor, educate, train and manage team members, stakeholders and staff. I enjoy any opportunity to pass on my experience and knowledge to the next generation of software engineers and developers.
