CEO

Flexewebs Ltd.

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)

October 2005 — Present (4 years 2 months)

Flexewebs focuses on adding value to business through use of Internet in any way possible that makes sense.

I have been involved in projects which cover: online administration systems, CMSs, SEO, e-commerce and dynamic web sites of all types.

I have also been involved in developing full Web 2.0 applications (Software As Service) from inception to completion.

Adopted process involves: UML modeling to capture requirements and elicit software structure, possible bottles necks and high complexities; Object Oriented modelling at every step; pattern based approach using high performance MVC frameworks (Code Igniter for PHP);

User Experience lead development with heavy focus on usability and accessibility within Web2.0 environment; highly interactive and social applications which work seemlessly across all platforms; SCRUM based iterative approach; Reusable semantic components.
