IT Expertise for Hire...

I have an IT-related degree (BSc Computer Science) and a postgrad certificate (PgC Computer Science). I also have a great deal of experience in the IT industry ... much of it working for major companies and organisations (some IT, some not) and on major IT projects (commercial, defence, governmental, R&D). My main areas of expertise are ... technical architecture ... software design, development & engineering ... networking & data communications ... internet and web technologies and development. I also have considerable experience as a team leader, and a little as a project leader. In addition, I also have good writing skills - well above average for a developer - and an aptitude for writing, and have written all kinds of technical documents.

I have had formal training in many areas (eg all aspects of software development, network architectures and protocols), but in certain other areas, I taught myself before putting these skills into practice on commercial projects (eg Perl, XML).

Every project has been completed on time, within budget and to appropriate professional standards. I have a record for producing high quality work, and a work ethic and work rate which are second-to-none. It is a fact that many big projects fail or go way over budget ... the defence and public sectors are full of them ... however, I have heard it said that one of the key factors to success is not the availability of outstanding intelects, but the availability of a core of people with the experience, skills, drive, committment and energy to make things happen. I consider myself such a person.

Applications include: network protocols stacks; device drivers; intranets; distributed n-tier web/intranet applications; high-performance data mining applications; bespoke Office applications; test utilities and simulators.

If you are looking for IT expertise (either full or part-time) , give me a call. If you need a team of IT professionals with a range of skills, then I know some of the best in the business and can probably put together such a team.
