About

Commercial Experience

I have been a commercial software developer since I graduated from the University of Southampton in the nineties. I started out working as a Programmer on IBM mainframe systems for Safeway (now Morrisons), Analyst Programmer for American Express then a Consultant for Abbey National (now Santander). Working for those large companies gave me access to top class training and responsibility for complicated IT systems handling millions of pounds.

I moved over to web programming in 2000. Since then I've worked with large and small companies and charities and worked on websites that cover online pension systems, house prices (high traffic with 25k daily visitors), estate agency, eCommerce, back end APIs for mobile apps, administration systems, Salesforce & WordPress sites.

Current Day

Located in Ringwood, Hampshire, I've been working freelance for 8 years.

In my spare time I enjoy staying fit, walking my dog in the New Forest and getting behind the wheel of my red V8 TVR Chimaera.
