Benefits I Have Brought to Organisations and Clients

Every system is different and has it's own set of deliverables and challenges. The list below is a small sample of the benefits that I have brought to my clients through the software applications I have developed for them:

  1. Increased Revenues and Market Share
    More accurate information, combined with an efficient software system, helps to give customers the edge.
  2. Reduced Costs
    Less time searching for, or updating, key information means more time running the business.
  3. Enhanced Security
    Roles and permissions keep data safe, yet visible to authorised staff and customers.
  4. Improved Communication
    Allows staff and customers to be kept in the loop.
  5. Superior Decision Making
    More accurate data leads to better decisions.




My Skills

Having worked in IT for 30 years, I've picked up a number of key skills, some of which are listed below:
Experienced in every aspect of software development, ensuring highly accurate and robust IT systems with the required quality. In recent years I have focused on building systems that are located in the cloud, accessed via a browser and available from anywhere with an internet connection.
Experienced in writing business based applications for the cloud using the php stack - php, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, VueJS, CodeIgniter and mySQL.
Experienced in designing and building efficient databases, now focusing on MySQL.
Experienced in working with clients and IT departments alike to design working solutions via the use of a range of analysis tools and frameworks.
Experienced in informing users how to use the systems I have built, complete with exercises, ensuring all users get the most of the systems.
I believe in keeping existing skills up-to-date while learning new skills, so have recently added VueJS to my skillset. This will help me build better user interfaces into systems I develop. In addition, I have just started learning Flutter/Dart to enable me to build smartphone apps for Android and Apple.
