I am a seasoned full stack mobile and general application developer, specialising in the flutter framework - allowing me to build beautiful, feature rich applications quickly.
I have many years experience in testingvand QA which ensures the work I do is realiable and accurate.
Starting my career as an apprentice gas engineer and progressing through to becoming a Head of service in IT. I have been able to fully understand every which way that applications and IT can help or hinder users, customers, managers, directors and owners. IT is certainly an accelerator within business, but without extensive planning and a grounded knowledge of the business requirement, solutions will fail and the business will not benefit.
I specialise in mobile application development, drawing on my experience from my time as a field based worker, knowing what made my days easier and more efficient! Where the business has a understanding of the desired outcome, I'm able to develop solutions to meet business requirements. Likewise, I can draw on my own extensive business knowledge where the business does not know what requirements are needed, and build out solutions to fix problems. I also develop applications focused around one of my hobbies - cycling, and have experience in game development.
