About Lamia IT Consultancy

Lamia IT Consultancy is a one man company (in dutch eenmanszaak) based in Leiden, the Netherlands. As only employee I do IT consultancy on contract basis with the main focus on systems analysis, integration and development in the financial sector. I have worked for CMG (later LogicaCMG, recently Logica) as consultant for seven years before becoming a freelancer.

Apart from the consultancy work I design and maintain some websites, mainly in Drupal. For some examples see the links on the left. I am currently also developing test tools for financial systems in Java.

My Profile

I am currently a self employed systems analyst and developer in a broad range of technologies.

My main area of expertise is in the financial and insurance industries. I have worked with investment applications like Factset, PerformaGlobal, Ullink, Horizon, Apama, and others.

History

I have worked in the IT sector for ten years since finishing University (M.Sc in Molecular Biology). I started in 2001 with CMG Finance as Cobol developer and later as technical project leader and incident coordinator. My last client through LogicaCMG was an investment company where I worked as systems analyst and developer from 2006.
