Andy Kakembo's profile

Andy has over 14 years experience creating software, analysing requirements and finding simple solutions to complicated problems.
He likes to keep his hand in the graphics / artistic arena but keeps getting drawn back to building business software, which is his core skill.
Previous clients include CSFB New York, for whom Andy designed and built a bespoke general ledger reconciliation system, and Morgan Stanley Frankfurt whose stock reconciliation software Andy re-engineered.
Andy has built eye catching web sites for small businesses, transactional applications for large enterprises and photographic web sites for independent photographers. He enjoys a new challenge and grabs most opportunities to be creative.
