Mr. Paul Todd
Bsc (University of Natal Durban, South Africa)
United Kingdom
I started developing on a Commodore 64 a long time ago in South Africa.
After finishing university, my first experience with Symbian was the very old Psion LZ64 which I used to interface to surveying instruments. The data collected here was exported into Autocad and used to generate maps for quantity surveys. I then emigrated to England in the mid 90's where I did some work on developing quantity surveying tools until I go involved with the first enterprise sync tool for PDA's (ASL Connect)
I did 6 years of work on Windows Mobile/CE before finally getting dragged into the world of Symbian. Now I design enterprise class software for PIM Data Management (Onebridge) and device management (Afaria). I am looking at ways development can be made both faster and more reliable so that our end products (especially when developed with a number of people) provide a better end user experience out of the box.
