Freelance Application Developer

With more than 20 years of working experience and interactions with clients such as Hewlett Packard and Accentuate, I am now a freelance application developer and the sole proprietor of IT service provider Projapps (currently just a small registered business for invoicing ad hoc freelance projects). I work with various platforms, programming languages and open-source software/libraries. I am proficient in the usage of the Java/Kotlin programming language and MySQL/MongoDB databases as tools for developing mobile and web-based applications. I make use of Java Servlets and JSP, coupled with HTML and JavaScript, for development. Besides web applications, I also have to develop small stand-alone programs which can help a system to function independently of the web interface. Currently I also develop web-based applications using Python and AJAX, adopting AWS API along the way with certified proficiency in AWS Cloud computing. I have worked on Chrome extensions and am developing Android applications. I also provide technical consultation and specifications using UML. In recent employments, I was involved in research and development in the domains of cybersecurity, digital forensics and natural language processing. As a research assistant/engineer, I provided information gathering and data collection/analysis for professors and research fellows, and contributed to the writing of journal papers. In earlier employments, I had developed intranet applications for HR and Finance departments as well as other corporate business entities. I had worked and led development teams, helping individuals in company as well as external clients solve computing issues and automation problems. I was able to gather requirements, analyse problems and communicate solutions to stakeholders of a project. I was a post-graduate student doing the Master of Computing in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, focusing on computer graphics, computer networks and mobile computing, programming and algorithms, and applications development.
