While there i developed C# Application Interface (API) for postbank to share customer Interest files with South African Revenue Service (SARS) at the end of each each financial year.

I was also part of the team that led the efforts of business recovery, stability and continuity after a cybercrime syndicate stole 42 million rands from postbank, the experiences I gained from that unfortunate incident are priceless as I saw what effort it takes to keep the business operating in such circumstances.

I was part of a team that was responsible for technology Upgrade in one of the biggest oracle forms and Reports technology upgrades in Africa, where we had to migrate from all our oracle forms and reports 6i to oracle forms and reports 11g platform. I also took part in re-writing an old main frame application into newer Oracle forms 11g.

I am currently tasked with the implementation of (Proof of Concept) Oracle Application Express as a new technology, with the strategic view of later moving away from oracle forms and reports, to keep up with new technologies and new avenues they open up.
