tireetoo.com is the website of tireetoo Limited, a company selling the services and applications of Stuart Barlow a Java, c# and generally agile enterprise software developer.

I have a wide (financial, telecomms, IT infrastructure) and deep (15+ years) experience of building enterprise systems using agile (applied with SCRUM) approaches including TDD (more recently BDD) and IOC. Technologies have included object relational mapping tools (such as TopLink and Hibernate), xml based webservices (using schemas, AXIS and XFire) and JMS messaging systems across J2EE and .NET architectures. Usually trying to keep it simple in the fight against complexity. Occasionally dabbles with J2ME and Android applications.
