"neatComponents": a Website Developement System that provides a web-based rapid development platform with integrated security and data handling.
David writes: I am unusual in that I combine blue-sky thinking, with the ability to convert new concepts into concrete product. My project management background gets work done on time and on target. I excel in team building and directed consensus management - so that everyone is on task and gets it done. I am based in the USA, but frequently work in Europe. I am particularly proud of Enstar's early understanding of the opportunities that the nascent Internet would offer in the fields of ecommerce, data-management and messaging and how we have segued into making these complex concepts simple at the point of consumption. |
