The Professional Zone
Trading as Questa Computing Ltd., I am an independent consultant specialising in the development of strategies and technical architectures which allow businesses to get the maximum benefit from their IT resources. Deploying a unique combination of managerial, commercial and current, active technical skills, I can help to deliver high quality, cost-effective business applications whether developed, procured or derived from existing assets. I have been described by clients as a "broad spectrum" architect, summarising my ability to engage in many problems at many levels.

Architecture and Agile Development
| As well as practicing in the field of software architecture, I am also enthusiastic about developing the discipline, the people within it, and the way it is used. I have written and presented a number of papers on software architecture and related matters, am a founder member of WWISA and IASA, and run the AgileArchitect.Org website, dedicated to the practice of software architecture following the best principles of agile development. |
