## BIO <u>**SYNOPSIS**</u> Since “Falling in Love with †Computers 22 years ago, I have been providing Freelance Software Solutions to customers. In that time I got to know many businesses in many fields and I feel that I have been able to assist in improving the way they do business. I have lots of business experience a general nature which I believe contributes to a successful solution in no small way. My personal philosophy is that while Software requires an overall purpose, it’s successful implementation is entirely dependant on the nature of the operator’s user experience. I therefore place a good deal of emphasis on making this experience as pleasant as possible. I am fluent in English, German and a bit of Dutch and my personal interests include Flying, Photography, Birdwatching and Reading. I am Married with no children.I have spent a good deal of time travelling and getting to know other countries. I believe that “the sky is the limit†and we have not even scratched the surface in terms of IT solutions as yet. A successful project starts with the selection of the most appropriate tools for the task at hand. Whilst I have a set of tools I use more often than most, I’m not fanatical about their exclusive use. I am committed and feel passionate about turning your dreams into reality as quickly and efficiently as possible. <u>**PAST PROJECTS**</u> **Medical Practitioners Administration and claims submission System – Convert from DOS Based Clipper App to Windows.** - About 600 + Users - Written for PC’s and the Windows Operating System (Win ’95 to XP) - Makes extensive use of and Modem Communications. - Written in CA Visual Objects 2.5<\p> **Operational Activity Analysis for Mining Machinery** - Logging 24 Channels analog and digital in 2 second intervals to Flashcards - analyzing these on Surface by recovering the data using PC’s interfacing with Flash Cards. - Online Version Utilizes Radio Network technology (TCP/IP) - Historical Version utilizes Proprietary Flashcard recording technology. - About 250 Machines Licenced to use the system - On implementation, operators often produce of gains in production of 45 %. - Interfaces with ERP system written in SAPS - Flashcard Version Makes extensive use of RS232 Communications ; Serial Protocols. - Written for PC’s using Windows Operating System and Proprietory Software using Microchips. - Written in CA Visual Objects 2.5; MFC C++ and KEIL C51 Compiler for embedded programming. **Production Simulator for Underground Coal Mining Operations** – Users can explore various scenarios involving “what if†calculations. viz:- - Equipment Selection - Staff - Geological Anomalies - Combinations of Board and Piller operations. - Written for PC’s using and Windows Operating System - Written in CA Visual Objects 2.5 **Training Simulator for Continuous Miners** – Fully Immersive Virtual Reality System - Written for PC’s using Windows NT Operating Systems - Written in MFC C++ and Sense 8 (VR Library). - Models produced in 3D Max and Photomodeller. **Production Control System for Manufacturer of made - to - measure Shower Doors.** - Written for Networked PC’s on Novell 4.0 and DOS. - Written in Clipper5 and Boreland Turbo C. - Interfaces with CA Accpac Accounting Systems - Installed for about 10 - 15 Users at head Office and 3 Branch Offices. **Distribution / Stock System for Distribution Contractor.** – System used to account for the entire distribution of factory - Production as the contractor was accountable. - Written for PC’s on DOS and Novell - Written in Clipper 5 - Installed at about 15 customer sites. **Printers Estimating Package.** - Used for quoting on print Jobs. - Written for PC’s on DOS and Novell - Written in Clipper 5 - Installed at about 7 customer sites. **Also these (listed in point form due to limited space)** Customer Freight Analysis System for Transport Contractor Payee Centralized Sales Reporting System for Customer with 27 Branches nationwide.
