## BIO
* * *
I specialize in managing outsourced projects from start to end.
I have over twenty years of experience in the IT Outsourcing industry as programmer, project manager, systems and business analyst. My expertize includes technical documentation: Functional Specification, Software Requirement Specification, Software Design Specification, Project Plan, Test Plan, etc. I am also an expert in drawing up Statements of Work (SOW) and Contracts/Agreements.
* * *
As a long-time programmer, I have expertize in various programming and scripting languages, allowing me to manage both desktop applications and web development for commercial, engineering and cad/cam applications.

MAXIMIZING THE OFFSHORE ADVANTAGE:
I have tried and tested teams available in India and Pakistan whom I use on all of my projects. Hailing from that part of the world, I am able to leverage my knowledge of their culture and thus get them to work at maximum performance. I ***know*** what makes them click! The savings of offshore resources are, of course, passed on to you...
* * *
PRICING MODEL:
I have a 2-tier pricing model. Local UK resources are priced at US$20+ depending upon expertise level, while offshore resources are $10+. The offshore component is generally 80% of total effort therefore overall rate is approximately $12 per hour.
That provides you the advantage of low-cost offshore resources without the risk of being burnt by fly-by-night operations.
