EDUCATION:
British Professional Qualification - Member of the British Computer Society. Equivalent to a

SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
A very broad range of experience using many hardware platforms and software development
environments. All positions have required being a "hands-on" supervisor and most have required
recruiting, training, and developing staff.
I have extensive experience in large scale LAN and WAN engineering, process engineering,
quality engineering, software development and integrating applications across multiple hardware
platforms.
I believe that I am able to offer an almost unique blend of experience in PC and network systems,
covering engineering, design and maintenance services as well as the ability to design and
integrate systems using purpose designed software and standard commercial software.
I have extensive experience in planning and managing software development and hardware
integration efforts to maximize income on fixed price contracts. I have extensive experience in
verbal presentations, and in preparing written reports and proposals. I have considerable success
in bringing sales opportunities to closure and a long record of very high customer satisfaction and
expansion of contracts after award.
CHRONOLOGICAL WORK EXPERIENCE:
