I really enjoy meeting people, listening, getting across their vision and then working alongside to develop their initial ideas into game changing software products.For me this is not just about tech, but about the satisfaction of helping people go further; an ethos that's baked into everything I do.Much of my 30+ year tech career has been defined by being "the middle person"; the bridge between technology and people, or between business needs and solution delivery.I love variety and create the most value when breadth of perspective, and unique combinations of experience, are required. The most effective situation is where this is supported by access to a range of specialists who bring great depth in their respective fields.
