Hi, I normally contract in MSBI, Oracle, .Net/.Net Core, focusing on a property platform at the moment. Have also been working hard on upgrading my limited company website too.

London Joined on Jul 9, 2019 http://www.inforhino.co.uk

Education

Degree - Grad 1998

Work

CEO at London/Virtual

Am more into just working with data to make useful applications. Technical expertise is secondary to good useful applications.

.Net, C#, Oracle, SQL Server, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS, MVC, .Net Core, Knockout, JavaScript and many other techs relating to Business Intelligence.

I am relaunching my property platform. Huge amount of work. Part time I am building a trading application. Hacks are metadata driven development.

Collaboration on projects, or if people want to help me with my platform. I will need help for certain. I also put together websites using Piranha CMS (.Net Core).
