As IT Consultant / Business Analyst, I advise on improving and automating business processes through technology, implemented primarily by PC and website based software solutions. I have extensive experience in developing computer software (full life cycle), with over 25 years in a software house environment and recently in a freelance capacity. During my career I have established strong analytical / problem solving skills and gained good client facing experience (to board level), in SMEs from a wide variety of industries. I can accurately analyse & logically interpret end-user requirements, prepare / present these professionally, prototype concepts, project management & develop these through to completion / client sign-off. Am highly self-motivated I can work on my own, in teams, manage small teams & liaise with 3rd parties.
