December 2020
DevOps
XIB Solutions, outsourced to Vodacom
Worked in a DevOps team, with a focus on automation. I headed up the project to overhaul and automate all system health checks. This project gave me quite a wide scope of still being hands on with development while also getting a look at the infrastructure and support side of things. It was very interesting seeing things from different perspective than I have before in my career as a developer.

Developed a database and a desktop application for interacting with this database. I have also given general computing advice to the CEO on occasion.

Junior Java Developer
Real Estate Development Interactive
For 3 months I was at REDI as a Junior Java Developer. I worked on their Sales Information Management System, a tool for the property industry that basically allows estate owners a robust way to keep track of their developments as well as interfacing with other parties involved in the sales process. What I did was largely JSP work on the frontend such as updating pages to meet specific requirements of a client who was unsatisfied with our templates. I also did some configuration work setting up new developments and creating and modifying reports.

IT Trainee

I spent a fair deal of time in this role looking for opportunities to write desktop applications and tools to increase efficiency and make life easier for the team. Tools and programs I have created include: A desktop application to merge CSV files on a common column. Written in C#, with extensive use of DataTables. A desktop application to remove cell phone numbers from test users. Written in C# using Oracle’s official plugins to connect to Oracle databases, actual data is manipulated with SQL statements. A background program to run automated system health checks at a set time. Written in Java using Selenium web driver to control an instance of Google Chrome. Added a feature to the above program to automatically register new test users.
