I am a full stack .NET Developer (C# and VB.NET). One of three brothers who all work in software, I have been a developer all my life, working hard all the time improving my knowledge and skills, because often with software you have to run to stand still.

I write business applications for the web and desktop. I think it is important to have at the same time both a high level view and also a detailed view of the software being worked on. I have always positioned myself to be able to relate to end users at all levels while catering for the needs of the computer and thinking all the time about the functional design of the system. I have worked for myself since 1988.

The most important attribute I think I have is keeping an open mind, i.e. being flexible and open to new ideas.

What interests me? I like doing something that's different or hasn't been done before. Other obvious likes are projects with good business benefits. I am also interested in all aspects of the applications I work on from data storage to user interfaces and computer interaction generally.
