Andrew Truckle

Hi, I’m the developer behind TruckleSoft. This is my little corner of the web where I share software projects, tools, and ideas I've built—sometimes out of necessity, sometimes just for fun. Most of what you'll find here is experimental, quirky, or oddly specific, but all of it reflects my curiosity and love for programming.
Feel free to explore, tinker, and maybe even find something useful or entertaining along the way.

EFFICENT AND EFFECTIVE CAD SERVICES
Brilliant work processing our major projects where photogrammetric mapping data is presented at 1 to 500 scale, TruckleSoft provides a beautiful cartographic end product for the clients. Andrew has a deep understanding of client requirements from a wealth of experience, he uses this together with a clear underestanding of each projects requirements. Then a host of his library and other custom routines to process what is needed. A real right-first-time approach which provides us with the service we need.
Thorough and approachable
While I live in the other hemisphere, in the antipodes, where our clock is opposite to UK time, over the years Andrew has been very approachable, adaptable, patient and helpful. I have always been impressed that while knowledgeable, he is not a “know-it-all” in that irksome manner some IT folk can be. Andrew is also very grounded, with a great life balance, so his approach to programming is practical and meaningful. While my contact lately has not been as frequent, it was always a pleasure to work with Andrew and I would communicate again with him about any programming or software matter in a heartbeat.
Flexible and dedicated to a good working product
Andrew has proven to be a very knowledgeable, flexible and focused on quality developer.
I’ve been working with Andrew on several long-term product development spanning multiple years. When changes where needed he quickly dedicated time to address the new requirements, directly identified the potential changes in adjacent functions of the program. In the rare occasion of a software bug Andrew picked up the issue, resolved it and tested together with the reporter before releasing into production.
One of the remarkable characteristics of Andrew is his ability to learn and adapt. When he was introduced with a new technology, he mastered it in a short time.
My review
I am happy to work with Mr Truckle. I have worked with him to translate one of his applications to Arabic. His way of listening to our concerns and applying our suggestions is so great. Andrew I wish more success to you
