Profile
I am a Senior Oracle Consultant with over 10 years
experience in both business focused and hands on IT roles. I am
skilled in all facets of Oracle analysis, design and development
but particularly with regards to multi-tier, 24x7 e-commerce
platforms. I have experience working with major blue chip
corporations, banks & leading edge startup companies and I have
worked in the UK, the USA and New Zealand. I believe my
strengths lie in my ability to combine excellent client facing
skills with a customer focused attitude, business awareness and
a solid technical background.
