I am a skilled ASP developer with nearly 2 decades of experience in the IT industry. My career started in 1988 performing data-entry for a software house and progressed through other roles including installations work and support. In the late 90s I started developing online quote systems for the insurance industry, and launched the first comparative insurance system ever used online in the UK. I have run teams of both support operators and web programmers and am currently employed as a systems developer for a large online insurance brokers where I am responsible for all aspects of internet development. I handle the companyâ€'s web and SQL servers and design & code our online applications. I liaise with many of the UK'€™s largest insurance aggregators, such as MoneySupermarket.com, and design systems to allow them to integrate with our web site. My depth of experience in designing online quotation and application forms means I am capable of designing user friendly and accessible web sites. My interest in freelance work is mainly in expanding my experience outside of my usual remit.
