With 20 years experience developing database-driven applications, I help businesses manage their information and securely distribute it. This includes the creation of mobile applications and web portals. Recent developments have included iPhone applications and TouristSite: a portal for tourism destinations delivering hard information and social network integration.
I also integrate social media into businesses, and deliver advice and workshops to help businesses understand the role of social media and how to take control of it themselves.
While I have a strong technical background, I have led business improvement and culture change in both public and private sectors. I aim to create applications which recognise that technology is a tool, not an end in itself.
