About Simon Judge, Android App Developer

More About Me I am a graduate of UMIST and have a BSc. (Hons) and a MEng. Masters degree in Microelectronic Systems Engineering, one of the first vocational courses in the United Kingdom to teach a mix of hardware and software. Prior to working in mobile, I worked for Logica as a graduate, followed by Vodafone and Oracle on Object Oriented Design/UML/C++ work. I am an Android software developer based in Surrey in the United Kingdom. Over the years I have worked on a large variety of types of mobile software for 3rd parties across Windows Mobile, Java ME, Symbian and iOS. Today, I work exclusively on Android. Past work has included government projects, video streaming for the security industry, ticketing on rugged devices, photographic printing from mobiles, mobile tv, medical, NFC, lottery, social network apps, mobile operating systems and Java ME runtimes, mobile synchronisation, database apps, tourism apps, reference apps, rugged solutions for farmers, instant messaging, mobile advertising and location (tracking).

Experienced I have been developing for mobile since 1996 and for Android since 2008. My apps on the Android Market have been particularly popular and have achieved over 200,000 downloads.

Unlike many other freelancers, I only work on one project at a time allowing me to complete every project on time. All work is managed and performed by myself. References available. Proactive I don’t blindly say ‘yes’ to everything but pre-empt and advise on problems and provide impartial advice. I can help tune your designs for Android to save unnecessary work as well as work with you to identify missed requirements. Knowledgeable Advice is available on App vs Web as well as hybrid approaches. I can also provide recommendations and can implement scalable server side techniques more applicable to mobile. I also provide a free white paper on ‘Designing for Android’. Cost Saving Working direct rather than recruiting someone like me via UK recruitment agency can save up to 20%. Intermediaries such as media and marketing agencies need to factor up their mobile development costs by a factor of three to four to cover their running costs. Professional I provide quotations, contracts and terms of business. I also produce and maintain plans with milestones. I provide regular weekly releases to allow you to review progress rather than producing everything at the end. Contact me for a free, no obligation quote for your Android development.
