Hi, welcome to my website.
I am Andy Rushton and I have been working as a software engineer since I completed my BSc in Electronics from Southampton University in 1983.
My early experience was developing design-automation tools for the electronics industry and I was a key programmer, systems designer and eventually research manager for TransEDA Limited, a venture-capital funded startup created by a management buyout from what was then Plessey Research, now part of Siemens.
TransEDA was a success and floated on the stock market. I left TransEDA after nine years, but you can still find the software that I developed in their VN-Cover product.
I left TransEDA to join another startup formed from research taking place at Southampton University. The new company was called LeafMold Enterprises (LME) and was funded by Celoxica, which was in turn venture-capital funded. Sadly LME ran out of funding and was closed down.
Since then I have diversified, working as a freelance consultant specialising in systems design, desktop application development and website design, particularly the engineering aspects of dynamic website and web applications.
