2. Work History
Chrisdigital 2007-2014
In 2007 I returned to the UK to look after my mother whose health had deteriorated badly as I was
her only relative. Established a small company providing IT support, web design, small business
software support and marketing support to small businesses in the area.
Now my mother has passed away I am keen to return to my passion but helping to support the victims
of natural disasters such as typhoons. I have considerable experience of the effects of these disasters
having lived in remote provinces of the Philippines including Leyte still recovering one year on from a
typhoon. I would be especially interested in Asia but can take contract positions anywhere in the
world.

Senior Programme Manager
I was responsible for the installation of the Ericsson pre-paid billing system in Sudan including

Mozambique restoring billing after it had been halted for several months.
Infocom 2000-2005, Taiwan
Vice President
I was responsible for the development of the software billing and customer care system for GSM 2.5.

object oriented skills were more readily available. Customers were Singapore Telecom, South China
Mobile and an operator in Hong Kong.
Siemens 1996-2000, Philippines
Senior Programme Manager
Taking on a very dissatisfied customer I restored a failed project for the development and installation
of a new billing and customer care system for a new mobile operator who also had a landline network.
The project included the migration of customers from an earlier system.
The customer was completely satisfied and became a firm friend coming to work with me on my next
project in Taiwan.
