Custom Software

M/B Consulting produces custom applications for Microsoft desktops and other environments. These can be based either on specifications provided by the client, or on the specifications generated in the course of a consulting project established to solve specific business problems.


It is the philosophy of M/B Consulting that custom software is one of many tools available to solve business problems and that the nature of the problem should dictate the choice of tools used to create a solution.


Mike Beaver, the principal consultant, has a strong educational background, including a Engineering B.S. from the California Institute of Technology and an MSEE/Solid State Physics from USC. This has been augmented with over two decades of experience as engineer and manager in the semiconductor industry, over five years of consulting experience, a number of programming courses from UCSC extension and several years of programming experience in multiple languages.
