I worked as a computer analyst programmer for the largest retail chain in Zimbabwe. We had to develop and maintain a new creditors system as add on to their present Mark4 system. I learnt to develop on a HP UNIX platform using Informix 4gl. I did gain quit a lot of SQL experience.

2001-2003 Altech Zimbabwe
My company was running an electronic data interchange service and my job as the retail and banking developer was to integrate our EDI client software with the service users system. I was required to understand a number of RDBMS such as Mysql, Oracle, Informix, Catch, Ms Sql Server etc. I had to develop a system in java that would use JDBC to insert or select the required data for all our clients systems thus integrating the EDI client with the service users system.

2004-2007 Basic Technology (UK)
I am currently working on server side development including management of projects and leading the java development team. Developed and still testing an online auction [eauction.basictec.co.uk] and portal site [www.basictec.co.uk] which implements the use of jsp, servlets, Java beans, JMS, Java mail and JDBC technology. I did also work on a mini sms gateway for one of our clients using JMS just to mention a few. I have gained strong experience with J2EE, J2SE, Apache Tomcat, MySql, Solaris UNIX, SuSe Linux and with the Eclipse IDE.

Skills

I feel that I have the necessary skills to develop applications on Java J2EE, J2SE and implement them on Apache Tomcat, MySql, UNIX or Linux just to mention a few that I feel I have truly mastered. I have demonstrated good teamwork, communication skills, time management and problem solving were I have worked in the past and will continue to do so. Having developed a number of applications in PHP for a number of clients has made me feel confident enough to develop on this platform on a full time basis as and when requested.
