I develop bespoke software that collect, process and analyse data in order to create an effective business solution by generating multi-level insights into an organisation. I also focus on the successful integration of existing database systems and data translations, as well as the migration of data from other platforms.I am involved in all the stages of every project life-cycle, from the initial requirement analysis and project specification, through the user interface design and user experience development, to the final testing, implementation, support and ongoing maintenance. I use PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, HTML5 and jQuery incorporated into my own custom developed frameworks which I have established through a combination of fail-safe techniques and the latest technologies. My current significant projects are: Springboard ASA: Telecommunications Analysis Platform from 2004 to current.I have been working on ongoing projects for Springboard ASA (https://www.springboardasa.com/) on a permanent contract since 2004 . The initial client requirement was to create a secure internet-based statistical reporting and billing solution for the telecommunications industry. Over the years the projects have evolved to include the continuous development and maintenance of traffic and rates analysis platforms, least cost routing generation and switch integration systems.Eezi Move Furniture Removals: Logistical Management Systems from 1999 to current.I have been working with the owners of Eezi Move (www.eezi.co.za) since 1999 to understand and incorporate the evolution and growth of their business and specific software requirements. Over the years I have developed and implemented - and still constantly maintain and progress - a complete Logistical Solution which includes online quotation and booking systems, vehicles, stock and storage management systems, as well as a CRM system.

I joined Synetec primarily to head up the open source development team. Together we have great plans to offer Software Development as a Service on open source platforms. We realised that very few organisations require the same composition of software development teams all the time. There may be times in critical development phases that you need 5 full time developers with a team leader and a product owner, other times when 2 part-time remote developers may suffice. With Synetec’s SDaaS (https://synetec.co.uk/sdaas/) , we aim to provide scalable teams of professionals to suit your ongoing flexible requirements for open source environments.

I led the development of a stable platform providing intelligent analysis for telecommunication operators, incorporating a customer specific multi-level, rule based least cost routing subsystem, utilising quality and profitability algorithms for the discovery of optimal supplier routing as well as real-time updating to various telecommunication switches/routers/redirectors.Industry - TelecommunicationTechnologies - PHP, MySql, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, SOAP, Web Services, LinuxProjects - Least Cost Routing, Traffic Reporting, Invoicing and Bill verification Infrastructure, Multi-Level Security, Switch Integration.

I have worked in partnership with Edot Web Technologies (www.edot.co.za) on numerous Software Development Projects since 1999. I often assist with the customisation of responsive frameworks when they are unable to find existing solutions that are able provide the functionality they desire for their specific client requirements. I have also developed several additional functions and styling to accommodate their client requirements, which is then fitted it into their responsive framework of choice, using their digital artist’s design elements. In addition we have developed various custom portal and e-commerce sites over the years which are all specific to their client requirements. These portal/e-commerce sites all have administrative interfaces which allow the client to create, amend and publish content when needed. We always focus on developing these administrative tools to match the client vision, so that there is almost no learning curve on their side.
