I'm offering

With over thirty-five years’ experience in the design and implementation of information systems, I feel that I am uniquely positioned to offer my services as a thinker and a doer in both the current and future software development and data handling environments. I have worked at many levels of the software development process, from architect to programmer, from manager of teams to trainer, from technical author to system designer.

My training and my experience have both width and depth.

I have a keen and current interest in the way software technology is changing and developing, for instance in the way in which Cloud computing and the Web and desktop and mobile applications can be designed and built to provide a coherent platform for any user to fulfil their information needs. I try to keep abreast of interesting new technologies and am keen to learn new skills and use whatever experience and expertise I have to solve problems.

With the advent of technologies that can and do produce more and more detailed data, the struggle now is to extract meaning and advantage from this deluge of data and my particular interests now, and over the past few years, are turning more towards Big Data, Data Science and Engineering. I have a deep interest in trying to unlock in a useful way the vast amount of knowledge which (may) be held in unstructured data, free text in particular. This can be both legacy data and newly generated data in arena of the web.

To this end I'm experimenting with a number of Big Data tools such as the Hadoop/Spark ecosystem, NoSQL databases such as Redis, MongoDB and Elasticsearch, with a particular interest in the way in which Machine Learning techniques can be applied to gain value from Big Data.

Working in the cloud is another thread in my current interest and way of working. The latest project I worked on was delivered entirely with a remote team, using Microsoft Teams to Communicate and coordinate with local development using Azure DevOps, AWS integration and delivery as a work package into an AWS environment.
