lateral Arts - Art Gallery

Simon Whiteside

I've worked as a professional software developer and team leader for over 15 years on many important projects.

I run my own company Lateral Arts Limited which offers technical programming services as well as products.

I'm also interested in art, and there is an on-line art gallery at my company's website.

I work in a very flexible way and welcome contact from clients and collaborators. Please feel free to contact me through this form.

You can find a portfolio of projects I've worked on recently, here.

You can see a full cv here.
