About the company

Dave Haynes is a Chartered Engineer with over twenty years of professional experience.

In the early days, Dave trained in Electronics design. Much of his work supported scientific research programmes, involving end-to-end development of prototype systems in areas as diverse as weld integrity analysis, high power lasers, and making aircraft with robots.

Dave founded Thuswise Limited in 1999, but continued to work for large engineering firms. He produced a number of digital designs for FPGAs and ASICs, even creating a chip for a cruise missile. Over time, the software element of Dave's work became more significant; first through the need to customise the digital design workflow, and later through his design and simulation of entire embedded control systems.

By 2005, Dave was writing software for corporate business systems and undertaking architectural, design, and development work for government clients. Three years with an Information Intelligence consultancy gave him a capability in business process transformation, knowledge management and semantic technologies. Then, as Thuswise Limited, Dave secured a contract with a defence supplier of mission planning software. This finally permitted the transition to independent trading under his own company name.

These days, Dave likes to write software which solves your problems and slips neatly into your pocket. He is the author of Here's What I Think, an application which is released under a Free software licence. This forms the basis of Thuswise's offering in the areas of data gathering, cleaning, processing, migration and transformation.
