As Technical Director / Solutions Architect my role is to work closely with clients to develop and implement their technical strategies, architect databases and solutions and then manage how the software development is conducted - overseeing a team of 15+ technical staff from our Bolton office.

I have over 20 years’ experience in the I.T. sector, working as a senior consultant with a global I.T. services provider and subsequently growing my own successful consultancy. My skills have been honed through developing and managing hundreds of successful client system implementations.

My passion is to use technology in a lean, agile and pragmatic fashion to improve the way businesses transact, communicate and operate. I excel at requirements gathering, problem solving, business analysis and solution design.

My primary role is to validate and translate business and functional requirements into something technically achievable. The outcome of this iterative process is a database and solution architecture, along with prerequisite development work and technical documentation. Once development begins I provide ongoing assistance and oversight.

I have over 17 years commercial experience and a track record of delivering robust solutions that are integral to the day to day running of clients’ businesses.

I have strong analytical skills and a passion for delivering solid, dependable software. My particular interest is in the hidden, underlying complexities of a system, primarily things like business logic, middleware and systems integration.
