About the Developer . . .



The Developer, Miles has been closely associated with all kinds of financial and other software development for over 30 years.  Even in 'the early days' (1980's) he traded in options and in 1987 designed various trading programs, including a Stock Market Portfolio Manager software package, which was featured inside (& prominently on the front cover of) October 1987's issue of the top-selling, Atari ST User magazine.

The Developer moved on and was then a key individual working for an investment software company which designed and developed innovative applications for private investors and financial institutions.  Whilst there, he was also heavily involved in the development of real-time price and option trading software successfully marketed by the London International Stock Exchange.

In his spare time, Miles likes to try to keep himself fit, looks after free-range chickens, DJs and does Charity work .  Additionally he professionally designs websites (both front-end and back-end, server-side database programming) and fronted one of the top-7 Sage plc accounting software development centres in the UK at the time the PLC company first entered the UK FTSE 100. Over time he has been both a Microsoft and Apple Developer.

Miles used this wealth of experience and his coding skills to first create and then improve the FairOption Apple iPhone App.

In 2022: the developer expanded the FairOption app further to support all major Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, while also enabling automatic cloud sync of stock and index data across all devices and adding many other useful features.

In 2023: the website design section the developer is involved with was merited with awards such as the MarTech 2023 'Innnovation in business' Award for Best Website Creation & Management service in the UK, in front of all its competitors.
