IT Consultant with over 30 years experience of front-end and back-end development. In the early days it was mainframe computers, taking up whole rooms with its equipment, and mainly in commercial, engineering and financial firms.

In more recent years, the emphasis has been on the internet, which meant retraining myself in nearly all the areas I had already become an expert in.

New skills involved learning website design and development, including server backends with Ubuntu. Expertise now is on platforms that have PHP, MySQL, Ubuntu, Amazon Web Services, HTML, CCS3, Javascript and jQuery to name but a few,

The last 3 years have been the new buzz words of Blockchain technology and IoT (Internet of Things), including crypto currencies that use the blockchain technology.
