I am a professional .NET Developer working and living near Manchester, UK.

I currently work as a Senior Developer for a bespoke IT solutions company where I am technical leading a project to rewrite a legacy system for a leading Debt Management Company. The new system is a 3-tier distributed system consisting of a SQL Server database with an application server and thin windows client written in C# using .NET 2.0.

I am also the architect and developer for the PartyHandbook website - a guide to UK clubbing featuring DJ profiles, venue details and event listings that.

PartyHandbook has been running since June 2000 and receives about 100 000 page views a month. It is maintained and developed in my spare time and is developed using C# and ASP.NET running on a SQL Server 2000 database.

Previously, I worked for over eight years for a leading analytical instruments and laboratory automation company where I was a Senior Developer for their flagship laboratory information management software
