A seasoned professional with over thirty years' experience in programming and analysis, covering a very wide range of user applications, across the whole development lifecycle and on a variety of platforms. Although, I've been using Oracle DB for almost the past 5 years, I've knowledge of other databases and BI tools such as Teradata Cognos and MS SQL Server.I've had a varied career in a wide range of IT and business related areas, which has given me many opportunities to develop systems and provide solutions where changing a persons perspective was as important as the technology involved. I've seen how customers have had the vision to bring previously unrelated functions together to interact and provide an insight that impacts upon business performance. I then provided the IT changes that implemented those flashes of insight. I've also made changes to processes that make those processes more efficient and quicker giving the end users a better experience of the human / machine interface.Although, I have experience of various industry sectors including, Financial, Wholesale, Manufacturing, Retail, Logistics and Distribution, my approach is to trust the business experts and only question their methods to gain a better understanding of the requirements. Sometimes this has helped them refine a point that was assumed straight forward. Working as partners to produce a solution focused with the needs and benefits for the business being the primary driver.I believe the systems I've provided are the most efficient and accurate that could be created under the circumstances, using the standards and methodologies that were in place at the time. I try to be flexible with the people I'm working with, understanding their situation and at the same time trying to explain any technical constraints.System analysis, software developmentBusiness requirements analysis and system/program designApplication lifecycle management including implementation supportData and system migration/conversion including reverse engineeringStaff mentoring and development
