Software Development

A summary of my prior career in software development.

As a software engineer with over 25 years’ experience, I’ve worked across various industries including oil exploration, engineering, video games and mobile development.

 

I started out developing desktop applications for Microsoft Windows 95 & NT 4.0 using C++. Over the years I’ve written software in C#, Java, Swift and Dart/Flutter using IDEs such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, Xcode and Android Studio.

 

My emphasis is on developing robust application frameworks with well-engineered and documented code for scalable software that is easy to maintain, extend and use.

 

In my personal time I have developed for the Apple iPhone and Windows Phone 7 mobile devices and have successfully published apps for both. I have also experimented with technologies such as Xamarin, Unity and XNA.

 

In my last role I was working with Flutter for over 2 years, developing a cross-platform app for the Android and iPhone mobile devices.
