What's working

Leigh at a team training day, Trentham 2007.

I've just rolled out a foreign exchange calculator for California clients, and I've been helping design some web applications for a client in Virginia. There have been enhancements to existing web applications, and development is underway on a new one (so hush hush I can't tell you more). It's been a busy start to 2010.

I've been learning some exciting new technologies and tools which I'd be delighted to exercise on your behalf. If you need a web developer, project manager, analyst ... get in touch.

What else?

Leigh at Waitonga in the Tongariro National Park, 2006.

I chose the name of my website because it's short, it's memorable and it was available. Why else? There's an opportunity for double entendres, and the name expressed the possibility of diversity.
