Bio
Gary Robinson
I worked with Richard throughout the early years of building the Entropy Software platform. He was instrumental in helping to develop a web-based application at a time when the technologies where still finding their way and Internet Explorer was on its initial versions! He has a zest for the application of technology, a good understanding of the Microsoft development stack and an inherent knack for finding pragmatic solutions to software development challenges.
Eric Martel
I worked with Richard on a difficult project where the client had complex, constantly shifting requirements. Richard is a very well organized, technically competent professional. His ability to sift through and track the customer’s requirements was a key to the success of the project. Richard is skilled at distilling complex requirements down to practical technical specifications.
