About Me

I am a freelance mobile application developer in the UK with over fourteen 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. Since then I have been more involved with Symbian, Java ME and BlackBerry projects. iPhone and Android were new for 2008. I have applications with over 100,000 downloads on the Android Market. In 2009 I started taking on larger complete solutions that included scalable server side processing.

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.

I have performed contracted work for companies such as Vodafone, Symbian and Sony Ericsson. My past work and my blog have made me well known in the mobile industry.

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.

In the past I have written for
PMN who provide market intelligence, consultancy and conferences for the mobile technology industry. I was also a Judge for the 2008 Sony Ericsson content Awards.

I work through my own UK registered limited company.

I have worked on projects as small as one day feasibility studies up to multi-year full lifecycle projects. Clients have included 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 United Kingdom to teach a mix of hardware and software.
