.NET Consultant / Senior Developer
Bristol, United Kingdom
I am a motivated, disciplined and professional individual who enjoys problem solving and challenges. I am able to contribute in a team towards a common goal as well as work alone using my own initiative. I take my responsibilities and accountability on projects very seriously and always strive for the best possible outcome in any given situation. I would like to think that I am able to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients in all circumstances, even the not-so-good ones.
I firmly believe that relationships are built on each individuals trust, integrity and performance. In the end it’s results that count. I have many clients who readily contact me with repeat business and recommend my services to others.
I have a passion for software development which I believe is evident in all of my work, both inside and outside of the office. I enjoy continually learning and building upon my skills, remaining up-to-date with industry developments. I attend conferences and user groups and enjoy sharing my experience and passion for software with other developers.
I am in good physical condition, enjoy life and have a healthy sense of humour.
