Self-employed

(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Computer Software industry)

September 2004 — Present (4 years 2 months)

I design and develop GIS and database applications. If it involves digital mapping, the processing, display or delivery of geospatial data then it's for me.

Working in many sectors from telecoms to cultural heritage, both in the public and private sector, I undertake assigments on a freelance basis, either on per-project ad-hoc terms or long term conception-to-completion commission.
