I'm an experienced web architect and developer, based in London in the UK, and specializing in Cloud Services and advanced Rich Internet Applications. My end clients have included a number of blue chips: Microsoft, Samsung, BP, Honda, E-On, Siemens, L'Oreal, Visa, Disney, Diageo, Waitrose, Manpower, and others.

Non-profits and public sector entities using my software include the Stroke Association, Barnardo's, the Citizen's Advice Bureau, and the UK National Health Service. I also provide white-label services to a number of top UK and US agencies.

My primary focus is as a Microsoft .NET developer working with the framework since the original 1.0 release. I prefer to work in C#, but can also program VB.Net if required, and I'm comfortable working with any framework version from 2.0 to 4.5, as well as with the latest developments in Asp.Net AJAX and MVC.

Recently, I have been specializing in server-side technologies to enable a cloud service architecture, such as WCF and the Windows Workflow and Identity Foundations, as well as programming and deploying applications for the Windows Azure cloud platform, and using both REST and SOAP.

A second focus is as an Adobe Flash/Flex developer and design builder, working with the platform since F5 and AS1 and now working exclusively with OOP Flash and Flex AS3, targeting F8-F13 and Adobe AIR for the desktop or a range of devices.

In addition, I do databases, principally MS-SQL, including stored procedures and advanced functions, and have the normal range of web/programming capabilities: (X)HTML, CSS, JS, AJAX including JQuery and JSON as well as libraries such as backbone.js and knockout.js, the XML family of languages including XPATH and XSL(T) and Microsoft Silverlight and WPF programming.

Like many other developers, I'm making the transition from XHTML to HTML5, and from Flash to JavaScript, and I can advise on the best strategies for coping with this ongoing shift in the web's fundamentals.

Third-party APIs I have worked with include Facebook, Twitter, Bit.ly, Windows Live, and Google Maps.

Given a fixed brief, which I can help develop, I usually provide competitive fixed-price bids. I work out of my own office, so please (recruiters) don't contact me with any more offers of on-site positions. If the scope of a project warrants it, I can make meetings anywhere in Europe with sufficient notice and travel expenses covered. otherwise I am constantly available via email, Skype messenger, and phone.
