About me

My system development experience started in 1982 and I have been an independent consultant since 1996.


My objectives are to help companies do the following:
    • Reduce costs
    • Increase revenue
    • Solve business problems

I am able to rapidly learn and adapt to what you need and to deliver professional results. I have developed new systems using modern development methods and standards, such as full ILE, two-tier architecture models. Alternatively, I can also maintain complex large-scale legacy systems. All work has entailed working with team members and end-users, often in multi-location, multi-country, multi-language projects. My aim is to fit in with the company culture and display an "I'm here to help" attitude.


I have worked for the companies listed below; they operate in a variety of industry sectors.
