Summary
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.
