Experience

It's difficult to know where to start when laying out my experience, because frankly I've been doing this for decades and if I was to list every client and every system that I had worked with the list would be way too long to be of any real use.

So below are what I personally consider the highlights of the past 10-15 years or so, with associated notes and URL's.

Please note, some of the URL's lead to systems that have moved on from my original designs (the web does not sit still) and other projects I can only name but not provide access to due to the tight security which understandably surrounds access to children and personal data, but where ever possible I’ll provide live links.
