I am a website designer and programmer based in London. I have over 20 years' experience in computer engineering since graduating with a PhD from Southampton University in 1987.
I can combine my two main areas of expertise to create integrated systems incorporating a website, databases and bespoke programs.
My website design approach yields high quality websites that are visually attractive, work well on all computer types and which are accessible to a wide range of people including those with visual or physical impairment.
Website design is now becoming a mature science and we are now at a stage where there are international standards for website design. However, a quick look at the Internet today shows that only a small proportion of web sites are using this approach.
I have always moved with the times and have kept track with the emerging technology. This means that not only am I very experienced, but I am also one of the new breed of web designers that use a standards-based approach that is accessible, clear and future-proof.

My programming approach yields high quality applications which are easy to use, easy to install and work across all common computer types.
I have been using C++ since early in its development and have grown with the language. I have always stayed up to date with the development of the language and I now consider myself to be a C++ expert.
My preference is to avoid using proprietary software: all my programming uses open-source programs and libraries. This is because proprietary technology locks you into one computer type. I believe it is good practice to make all programs potentially portable, so that they will work on Windows, Apple Macintosh and Linux. Even if you only plan to use one type, you may change that policy in the future. My approach ensures that your program will be inherently portable to all platforms. This doesn't cost you more - in fact there's a strong argument for it costing you less.
