Quick Overview of Experience
Gareth Bowen has designed and built systems for a range of companies, as well as providing business consultancy in a number of areas.

Project Management

Gareth Bowen is no stranger to project managing projects, from beginning to end. As well as adopting his own methodologies, and because of his development background. he knows when things are going wrong. Which is why you need him, as someone who has worked in every role, from design to testing. can tell at first hand, what needs to be done in order to bring it back on track again.

Having extensive experience in data migration, and roll outs. he can make your roll out a success and stamp those bugs out before they get out of hand. 

Ironically the psychic side has helped on occasion, at flagging issues.  which means he just knows, when someone is having issues,  and when they are stone walling. It takes just two weeks, to get a full down, of who's doing what well, and who could be used better. when it comes to profiling departments,  staff and the business at large.

Easy going, he just wants to have fun.

BSA

Gareth has extensive experience when it comes, to speaking with end users and using their input to design a system they want. Also for things like www.thesextree.co.uk he has done it blind, as sometimes when a person wants something changes, you get a message. a flash or an image of what they need. which means it gets factored in, as not everyone has a voice, and Gareth has extensive experience when it comes, to speaking with end users as we work with users in designing a system they want and need. We have even occasionally picked up images ideas relating back to clairvoyance, in images and dreams which have revealed issues before they are voiced openly, thus allowing us on occasion to intuitively respond to a customer’s needs earlier in the life cycle.

Real Estate and Property Management

Gareth Bowen has been in the buy to let market for over 5 years, meaning he has extensive knowledge of how the industry is run. Especially when you consider he has worked for mortgage companies, house builders and maintenance companies. meaning Gareth has left no stone unturned, and has a unique understanding of tenant, broker, mortgage lender, and landlord. which puts him at the centre of things.

Language Skills
French - Having dated a french women for 2 years, I was given no choice but to learn...

Donc je suis heureux de considérer des contrats qui ont une exigence de langue française...

It isn't not very often you meet a geek, who knows the law. Having a passion for it from an early age, I nearly did that instead of computing. However the ever increasing demands of business means that sooner or later everyone find their way back to it, especially in this day and age. Including campaigns such as the sex tree wank for freedom campaign to highlight article 10 inter alia of the European Convention.

One of the reasons we turned the sex tree into an international news site, where people are free to upload the news uncensored. As it seems the mainstream "government" press, are only interested in pandering to power, and or worse removing our rights, which are ever increasingly being undermined by those in control. As no one has the right to impose a belief set or interfear in the business of consenting adults, or anyone else who consents to risk! which means we don't play well with those who leach on fear, and or who try and guilt trip people into doing things, they don't want to do.

It's not very often you get a geek, who knows the law. This one has had a passion for it from an early age. Which perhaps compliments and aides the analytical skills, gained from development. Meaning European and human rights law, is a hobby of mine. Though while, I have had involvement across a range of legal problems, I have yet to become fully qualified as a lawyer. though that being said he has demonstrated a wealth of skill, which would put most "professional" lawyers to shame.

    Having designed a range of merchandise covering everything from mouse mats to keepsake boxes. we have a law for you. collect the lot and read up more on them at www.thesextree.co.uk


    European Convention T-shirts

    European Throws
    I've expanded into chemistry, physics and biology research as well as factoring i.t. and electronics in (trying to get a unified theory to relate the science side a bit better) Obviously this knowlege will have no marketable basis what so ever, as i destroyed all my credability when I declared myself a witch - yes the industry is that raciest - c'est la vie.

    [you know, they actually turned my app down for a STEM ambasador as well! please, your taking the p*** now after appealing for them... f**k it, screw the lot]

    Just shows that adding more knowlege into the mix, is only going to put people off more, they want slaves - not people who can think... as I email MI5 again with a psychic guess regarding boat movements on a thurday (see journal) only for an article to appear in the news on the sunday (8/3/09) dated back to the wednesday i made the mail.

    Ooooops perhaps i should learn to stay slient instead of trying to prove myself publically, as this could get out of hand if it hasn't already *you can't unlearn things you know, and you can only improve with time - which means your doubly screwed for work, or so it would seem...*.

    Either i look like a fool and get it wrong, or worse I am right and draw the wrath of navel inteligence (its been done before) and I wounder -do i really, really want to get good at this? As I look to science instead, its safer I think...

    Anyway and all links here, are taken at your own risk - as it all links back to my private research on thesextree and that could take you anywhere...

    Shhhhhhhh says the witch, as i plead ignorance again - not a psychic, not a witch, I am an alchamist - and if you mix this, and that you get... WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT BE A BLOODY ALCHAMIST!!! BLOODY HELL YOU LOT ARE AWFUL I OBJECT this is getting silly now, as i long for freedom again, as i go to court on March 27th to plead the ship money case in a court of english law for failure to pay council tax, as i don't have the money, pour j'ai besoin plus d'argent!!! moi kingdom est broke...

    perhaps i should photosynthise wine, can't be that hard CO2, H20 a little bit of sunlight... as i turn to politics instead for now... offers welcome ;)

    Warning - This IS a Work In Progress, as one trys to turn xxx into Gold... See Art XIV for more (ahh the old ones, are always the best as they miss the point of it all ;) *whistles innocently*, as the witch goes silent again, to dare, to know, to will and errrrrr i think i screwed silence already, oooooooooops again...
    I'm considering running, or doing something anything to stem the tide of rights being tossed aside by idiots like labour getting in. and if that means filing under 68.2 (1) b of the CPR to the european courts of justice, quoting article 5 of the treaty - then i will do just that, as can you really call aleciester darlings budget and 606 billion loan competant? please if you can argue that one, then be my guest as i AM going to request they "do what is necessary" and order europe to democraticly elect a president to oversee it all...
    Campaigns
    the antichrist for president campaign if only because ALL the parliments are f**king it up at this moment in time, its about freedom, not slavery...
    Council Tax Appeal Page figting the attitude that the majority can just walk in and steal your land, when you have nothing to pay for it - filed judical review with the high court under article 4 inter alia, which is latin for amongst other things when judges/lawyers/politicas wish to avoid saying any more
    The wank for freedom campaign - which went to the EU
    full discolsure in every way ;) unlike roberta "i'm a fascist, lets steal your rights" Blackburns stance on transparency and auditing of finances...
    News Site where you can upload your own stories as well
    My finances the origional spread sheet, which shows what i've been eating since december
    My attempt to write a letter to sort the israli/american/iranina/palastinaian problem out, which is a little bit messy and unfinished (and probably got lost in dead letter ques at the un and embassies (good job the letter is unfinished - and i was short of time...)
