CollectAI GmbH

Description

I was an individual contributor in a team responsible for developing and supporting a payment portal that enables customers to settle their invoices using several payment options. I contributed to a number of microservices that support the payment portal. The two services that are worth highlighting are:

• A customer queries service which manages queries raised by customers and routes them to the relevant parties.
• A service that allows the customer to make alternate payment arrangements if he/she is unable to make payment.

I participated in discussions with the design and the product teams about product goals and how best to accomplish them.

Spar (Pty) Ltd

Description

My tenure at the company gave me my initial exposure to ideas around SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). SOA was the buzzword of the day during those years and numerous software vendors offered tools for building SOA software systems. We used a suite of tools from IBM to build a system that would allow the seamless integration of various business processes in order to streamline the rollout of in-store promotions. I created several workflows that would extract data from message queues, perform various transformations and cleanup of the data and then load it into the company’s promotions system.

Computassist (Pty) Ltd

Description

My role at the company allowed me to really flex my programming muscles. Prior to this job, at the previous company, I had done only HTML/CSS with a bit of JavaScript. The first major project I got plunged into was a point of sale invoice display application. This application needed to display an invoice to the shopper at the checkout area and also simultaneously show image and video advertisements. I also worked on an effort to migrate the main software product offered by the company, from COBOL to C#. I was the sole developer in these projects. Looking back now I can appreciate the learning experience these gave me.

My time at Computassist afforded me the opportunity to grow my research and problem solving skills which served me well as an engineer in later years.
