This is almost embarrassingly old, but until I update it, here is some information on me from the past.
Do you need an experienced Delphi & C++ contractor who can easily fit into your requirements? I can take your draft spec and turn it into a finished product.
In my years developing, I’ve implemented over 10 applications which have been sold commercially. I’ve also just done simple maintenance projects, and things like installers. You can try some of my work at http://www.banxia.com.
Delphi is my tool of choice. Based in Kendal, but able to travel as required.
This page is so way out of date – contact me if you want more up-to-date information.
