Simon’s career began developing bespoke Windows and web applications for SCADA systems in 2001. This experience showed him the limitless possibilities that software and hardware could provide. As the World Wide Web matured so did his interest in server-side development. Developing applications within the finance, healthcare and agricultural sectors he was exposed to a wide range of client and service-side technologies including C# and PHP amongst many others. In 2014 he became a member of the PNB mobile team and has since worked on both Android and iOS platforms. He has a keen interest in the latest tech as well as an undiagnosed (but distinct) addiction to KickStarter's technology projects.

No matter what stage of development your project is in, we can help you bring it to market. Whether it’s just an initial concept and you’re wondering how to proceed, or if you need assistance implementing a specific feature into an existing codebase, we can guide you every step of the way. Unlike some advertising or marketing agencies that tag ‘app development’ onto their core business, we specialize within this field. We don’t just write software, we provide a full 360° consultancy to your business.
A lot of the time it is easier to find your mobile phone in your pocket than it is to find one of many remote controls for all the gadgets in your house. PNB Mobile has worked on a number of remote control applications for mobile devices using custom communications protocols. These include multi-room audio streaming control and communication with set top boxes attached to your TV. We also have extensive hands on experience with UPnP technologies.
Contacts, calendar and notes applications are three of the most commonly used applications on mobile devices. We have worked directly with handset manufacturers and on third party applications to provide solutions for users to easily manage their personal data and schedules.
Not every idea for a mobile application is a great one. Sometimes a proof of concept needs to be developed to assess and de-risk the viability of a project. PNB Mobile has excellent experience in communicating between mobile devices and prototype hardware in early stages of development. Rapid prototyping of certain key features can be useful for Product Development teams to determine how useful features can be to their users, and if a clear monetization strategy exists for a given product.
Enterprise applications are applications that are intended to be used by your employees to help streamline certain areas of your business. Instead of releasing an application to the general public through one of the device specific application stores, PNB Mobile can create bespoke applications to interface directly with the existing internal tools that your employees use every day to get their jobs done.
PNB Mobile can create automated UI tests and code level unit tests to help you manage your codebase as it grows. And if you don’t already have a Continuous Integration environment we can assist you in installing and configuring one that suits your needs and fits in with your existing infrastructure.
If you already have existing legacy code and are trying to decide how viable it is to use to meet an extended product roadmap, a fresh pair of eyes can identify architectural or coding changes that will benefit the project moving forwards. The output of a formal code review can be used to form a set of best practice working guidelines for your existing developers to follow.
