Me I am a Guernsey based independent software consultant with 10 years of experience. I started programming when I went to University and did a BSc in Computer Games Programming. For my final year project I created my own 2D game engine in (C++) which could be accessed by a level editor (C#) to demonstrate rapid tool development. Professional During my 10 years delivering software in the finance industry I have worked with accountants, bookkeepers, investment consultants, human resources and compliance to deliver tools primarily to boost efficiency but also to help keep in-line with the ever changing requirements surrounding data law. I have worked on... Accounting systems (accounts, trial balances, etc.) Book keeping systems (reconciling, bank statement import, etc.) Automated billing systems Engines to search databases against UN, UK and US sanction list entries for compliance purposes Bespoke charting of large datasets Bespoke report generation with lots of rules surrounding what pages, charts, text, etc. are displayed Investment portfolio comparison Interfaces to old systems such as VMS and Delphi to alleviate the burden of changing to new systems Content Management Systems and Customer Relationship Management Building software against existing legacy databases to deprecate and replace old software Beyond the finance industry I also create websites for small local companies, self-employed people and charities. As I host a lot of personal projects I have quite a few virtual servers hosted in the UK and occasionally provide managed hosting. I have done a number of presentations and talks to adults as well as to kids in schools (which was more intimidating than talking to adults). I am a Global Games Jam site manager for Guernsey. Spare Time In my spare time I have a number of on-going and deceased personal projects. Primarily my spare time is used creating games over at Granite Games. I founded Guernsey`s open data portal data.gg in 2014 and continue to work on that. On the Android app store I have 3 apps... Guernsey Flights - Monitor Guernsey Airports arrivals and departures. Guernsey Sailings - Monitor Guernsey Harbours arrivals and departures. Resist Calc - Four band resistor calculator, useful for Raspberry Pi, Arduino or other electronic projects. Font Whiz is a small open source tool I created to generate an image of a font from a file to help with fast font rendering in games. There`s also discuss.gg which I run as a discussion platform for Guernsey.
