I am a freelance mobile application developer in the UK with over twelve years mobile experience. I provide advice, feasibility studies and design/implement applications that add functionality to mobile devices.

I am probably the only freelance mobile specialist who has covered all the major types of mobile application development. This flexibility allows me to recommend the best way to go about implementing a particular project. 

I was one of the first Windows CE developers in 1996 and was a Microsoft beta/launch partner for all the early major Windows CE releases. More recently, I have been more involved with Symbian, Nokia Series 60, UIQ and Java ME projects. New for 2008, I now cover iPhone and Android.

My software has been bundled with Casio, Sharp, Compaq and Nokia and is in use by literally hundreds of thousands of people in just about every country.

As well as commissions to write development tutorials for Sony Ericsson Developer World, I am also one of the authors of the Wiley/Symbian Press book UIQ 3 : The Complete Guide.

I also occasionally write for PMN who provide market intelligence, consultancy and conferences for the mobile technology industry.

 

I am an Accredited Symbian Developer

I have worked on projects as small as one day feasibility studies up to multi-year full lifecycle projects. I have worked for small one-man startups up to large PLCs such as Vodafone. As an independent developer I am experienced in communicating effectively with suppliers, my peers, customers and company board-level members.

Prior to working in mobile, I worked for Logica as a graduate, followed by Vodafone and Oracle on mainly Object Oriented Design/UML/C++ work. 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 UK to teach a mix of hardware and software.
