IDS ConsultantsTechnical Scrum Master / Senior Solutions Engineer
Oct. 2009 - Oct. 2018I have designed, managed and implemented new systems focusing of web development in a SOA environment, and also developed enhancements to existing systems. I can effectively translate business objectives into system requirements.

I have strong business process analysis capabilities and interact with business as well as performing a hands-on development and architectural role. An example of a system designed and developed is a Front Office Banking Portal, first implemented in 2011 at Absa Wealth and used by 300+ users, will be enhanced this year to support the larger Absa group. I was involved in this project from the onset and was instrumental in the following activities: • Architectural Design
• Requirements Capture
• Project Management
• User Training
• Deployment
• Post Release Support The main challenges the system had to meet were: • Accessible nationwide by Front Office Users
• High availability
• Source data from legacy banking systems
• FICA Compliant
• Configurable
• Integrate into Operations systems
• Integration into the payments systems
