Thanks for stopping by. This is the web site for KazMax Ltd. We provide consultancy services for Internet and software design based upon Microsoft .NET technologies with a particular focus on Microsoft Sharepoint services. We also offer our own software products which you will find listed on this site.

KazMax Ltd are wholly owned by Andrew McKay FIAP MCP. Although based in the United Kingdom Andrew has provided software and web site development services for several well-known companies that enjoy a worldwide reputation.

The major portion of Andrew's career has been spent working within the computer industry, embracing several senior roles in hardware support, applications support, and for over 15 years software development. Andrew is a Fellow of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers. He has been directly associated with Microsoft .NET and SQL Server development for several years, and having gained formal certification Andrew today focusses his specialist skills on Microsoft Sharepoint technologies.

After leaving school Andrew spent approximately 4 years with Mullards Semiconductors based in Southampton in what might be considered to be similar to 'an apprenticeship'. During this time he developed his Electronic Engineering skills and enjoyed a meteoric rise through the salary scales to become the youngest member of the Mullards monthly staff, which wasn't bad given there were some 3,000 employees on the site.

Mullards was followed by a very satisfying career as a Senior Customer Engineer with Hewlett Packard where he had personal responsibility for what was then HP UK's single largest desktop computer contract. Additional responsibilities included providing support for the HP1000 range of real-time computer systems. His career then migrated to become a Senior Technical Consultant with responsibility for HP's Factory Automation product range, working within the Professional Services Organisation.

When HP withdrew from offering software products on the corporate price list Andrew was seconded to the internal Business Administration team, where he developed two major software applications for managing the reporting and administration of the Professional Service Organisations business. These applications were rolled out across HP Europe, with Andrew training all of the European business administrators for a week in HP Amsterdam. In recognition of these achievements Andrew was awarded share options by the HP UK directorate.

On completion of the secondment in the early 1990's Andrew transferred to a new career as a software engineer within HP's Integrated Service Division. Therein he took responsibility for ISO9000 activities for the division within the European operation.

After leaving HP Andrew formed his own company to provide services as a freelance software consultant, which he continues to do today.
