I’m an independent database designer working with Filemaker Pro since 1995. I won the MacWorld Magazine Developer of the Year award in 2004 for the business management system ‘Traffic’. In 2007 I also won the Business Impact Award at the Filemaker Cube Awards for ‘Mishun’, an off-the-shelf business management solution with integrated double entry bookeeping.Over the last 15 or so years I have developed systems for The Design Council, Mellon Bank, The Old Vic Theatre, The European American Tax Institute, The Serpentine Gallery, The Frieze Art Fair, Penguin Books, Tilney BestInvest and Fixation Photographic. Over a long career that began in the design industry, I’ve set up and successfully run a number of businesses. I believe this has given me a clear grasp of business models, organisational objectives and financial realities. As a systems developer I’ve also gained a sound understanding of information modeling and have particular strengths in interface and usabillity design. I’ve developed and delivered training at all levels including Honours degree and Masters degree. I’m a pro-active, hard working, creative individual, used to getting paid by results and delivering on promises. I’m honest, articulate and I still have my own teeth.
