1 Dear Sir / Madam Thank you for the opportunity to submit my CV. 60 Killarney Street Oakdale Bellville [email protected] 2 November 2015 I started programming at the age of 14, and won a national award in the same year. Today I am a senior ASP.Net and Java EE Developer and with strong experience in the Microsoft and Java technology stacks. I manage the full software development lifecycle (SDLC): Gathering business requirements Drawing up / grooming specification documents Sprint planning and review (Agile methodology) Implementation / Programming Automated builds, Unit testing and Integration testing Deployments to development, UAT and production environments Monitoring and bug reporting For Microsoft based solutions, I follow best practice coding standards in the form of the.net Framework Design Guidelines as documented on MSDN. Any developer who is familiar with the.net framework itself, will be comfortable with the code conventions in the delivered codebase. I focus on developing robust software by adhering to the SOLID principles: Single Responsibility Principle Open / Closed Principle Liskov Substitution Principle Interface Segregation Principle Dependency Inversion Principle I use the most common Design Patterns to make code more readable and maintainable. I use the best available refactoring and code quality tools, and have a professional and systematic approach to everything I do. I'm a freelance developer. Let's set up a meeting. I know I can help you. Respectfully yours, Morné Fourie If you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait til you see what an amateur costs you 1

5 History School I became a programmer at the age of 14, when I won 3 rd place at South Africa s National Computer Olympiad. I realised that I was a natural and continued exploring the world of programming by taking Computer Science as an extra school subject. Tertiary Qualification In 2006 I received my National Certificate in Datametrics through Unisa. My studies centred around systems analysis and various design methodologies. I use UML, Use Case, Flow Control, Timelines and other diagrams in my technical documents. Windows-based development I started out my Windows development career designing and implementing a multi-user CRM in Delphi and Access. Later I translated much of the Delphi code to C# (WinForms). Currently I am working on a multi-user middleware application (Synergy) for a listed company to integrate between Pastel and their existing school admin systems. It facilitates enrolments, invoicing and reporting over a multi-site architecture. Web development I have been doing web development since 1998, starting out with an open source CMS called Post-Nuke, where I gained experience in the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP). Shortly after I started focussing on the Microsoft technology stack, starting with Classic ASP, where I specialised in customizing open source shopping carts and integrating them with various South African payment gateways. Since 2005, I focussed exclusively on ASP.Net and SQL Server. Most of my code is in C#, but I am also well versed in VB.Net. I follow best practice n-tier design in my architecture. I am also very proficient in T-SQL. My exposure to financial systems started when I was asked to implement real-time integrations with Pastel Partner and Sage Evolution. My billing engine generates more than accurate invoices per month. It also synchronises customer and supplier data between systems. Then the GL is kept in sync with an in-house Budget Management application, as well as a 3 rd party Spend Management platform. Graphic design and CSS skills are strong points in my front-end designs. I found that appearance makes all the difference. Later I adopted several Java EE frameworks, including Spring, Hibernate and Service Oriented Architecture. In a strange way exposure to Java also improved my.net skills. Today I am a true polyglot. Database development For the last 4 years I have been responsible for the company-wide data distribution strategy and implementation. We use SQL Server Merge Replication to maintain pairs of synchronised database copies between 33 schools throughout South Africa. The sites benefit from local data access speeds in spite of sometimes having only 3G connectivity to Head Office.
