About Me:I am the founder and visionary who invented live web applications. I designed and also helped code our real-time web framework from ground zero upwards. I own and drive our technology direction using agile processes. Deliverable:Project Peach live web applications use advanced technologies like HTML5, CSS3, Websockets & JavaScript for our browser UX. Our cloud hosted, native code, live web applications are built using portable c++. Powerful web applications without the browser hosting constraints.Overview:Project Peach is a 10 year R&D software project with a £1m development budget. The concept is to take all our knowledge as developers and 'FIX' the problems we've encountered in software development over the last 40 years. We've coded a unified development framework that's solves everything from remote collaborative working, true browser multi-user and one solution for apps of all types including websites. We created smart connections that push live changes in realtime to live connected clients. Our mission is to change the way the world codes their apps.Key Technologies:HTML5, CSS3, Websockets, JavaScript, C, C++, STL, LOKI, IIS, ApacheBusiness Skills:CTO, Budgets, Agile, Presentations, Team Guru, Architect, DesignerTechnical Environment:• Modern Browser is UX.
