I've worked on Microsoft Access since I was a teenager, when I produced a document management database for the UK's rail operator of the time, RailTrack. Since then I've built and maintained MS Access databases for all sorts of companies, from exam boards to finance houses. There's not much I can't do in Access, if I'm brutally honest!

Built a number of large process management databases for business mostly in regulated sectors (financial, pharma, exam boards), all with MS SQL backends. More recently, I have used MySQL and PostgreSQL in several projects. Also have experience of Crystal Reports in the dim distant past.

Relatively recent python convert - I've used Python mainly for small standalone projects but also within Flask & Django frameworks. I have a pretty scientific/mathematical background (a degree in space science actually) so Python's general form appeals to me :-)

Many websites designed, often database-driven. Began building sites professionally in 1998. Many websites built inside my own ASP.NET CMS, but more latterly a number of custom-themed WordPress sites, and now working in Python/Flask.

Been working recently on a large, very fast and highly scalable web (IoT) platform that is based on Python/Flask/Redis. Have been through a lot of in-depth learning and have a very good working knowledge of the platform despite relatively recently taking it on (had previous experience with Django though, which is very similar in many ways).

Have built a number of wordpress sites, often with completely custom themes built from the ground up, but also customising themes built by others. Some more technical sites using complex plugins like buddypress, Woocommerce and custom Google-Maps integration etc.

Built a number of small systems running on Raspberry Pi, mainly hobby projects but also some more serious python / flask / redis-driven applications. I'm a big microelectronics enthusiast so I'm well versed in the use of GPIO to drive external devices and to receive data from sensors.
