Experience

During my 13 years in software design and development I covered several positions, such as Enterprise Architect, Lead Architect, Solution Architect, Development Manager and Technical Project Manager. I am well versed in customer relations and team communication as I am used to work with clients in different industries like telecommunication, online banking and aviation.

In my upcoming contracts I focus on the following roles:

• Enterprise Architect
• Lead Architect
• Solution Architect
• End-to-End Architect

My focus on technologies and methodologies which are well suited to reduce the complexity of software projects:

• Architecture: TOGAF, Zachman, IBM Global Methods
• Integration: SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), Web Services, ESB, XML
• Modelling Tools: Enterprise Architect, Rational Software Architect, Borland Together, Visio, UML and round trip engineering tools
• Business Logic, Middle Tier: Spring, POJO, BPM, BPEL, BizTalk
• Persistence: Hibernate, CMP (Container Manged Persistence), Castor
• Software Delivery Life Cycle: Scrum, XP, RUP

As a Solution Architect I am currently contracting for an IT-consultancy in Wellington. In this role I am focusing on the End-to-End Architecture of electronic certificate solutions for the New Zealand government. The solution outline is a major driver for the new Enterprise Architecture of the organisation.
I am available for new projects from early August 2009 on. Feel free to contact me for further details and to discuss contracting opportunities.
