About Me

Hi! I'm Fred James, Senior .NET Developer currently based in Bath.

A gifted and versatile IT Professional with over a decade of industry experience. Having recently returned from a career overseas, I’ve spent the past nine months working as a Senior Software Developer writing code and consulting for several customers in the maritime insurance sector.


During my career, I have worked in all facets of software delivery. I have a wealth of experience in multiple markets and regions across the globe. I specialise in all things .NET Core and SQL Server.


If you're looking for an experienced, passionate developer who craves the complex challenges of our industry, please get in touch.
