About

An entrepreneur responsible for the creation of five software companies, I'm an expert in the design and development of software systems across Cloud, Mobile and PC. I have an extremely technical background in development, a strong knowledge of software development practice and technologies, and still maintain a strong hands-on approach. If your organisation has a system or product that uses custom software, I can help with technical and product strategy. I am frequently asked to review and help rescue failing projects. I'm currently CEO of Blueberry Group, a private group of software companies. My interests include the new generation of rapid prototyping technologies (3D Printing and Laser Cutting), technologies to simplify the development of online applications and educational toys for children.
