Software
In my current position at Intracom
IT-Services I am senior consultant on the software development of ESKORT Systems
(our brand) for Customs and Revenue agencies in a variety of different
countries. My role is mainly to be the link between the customers and our
development team by, in collaboration with the customers, settling the
requirement specifications in a way which on one hand makes the requirements understandable
and recognizable by the customers and on the other also provides the developers
the required knowledge in order to make the final implementation. From this I
have gained a lot of experience in making specification and training workshops together
with customers as well as the final installation and test.
My technical work today is mostly concentrated on configuration of the
final systems and less (but still some) programming.
The applied programming languages have mainly been in JAVA, C++ and SQL
usually configured using XML, XSLT and SQL-scripts.
I am experienced in software design and programming
especially concerning object oriented analysis, design and implementation. I
aim at designing software to be as configurable and flexible as possible and thereby
gaining the benefits of reusing software modules, able to be configurable for
various installations in order to improve the testability as well as making it
as easy to understand as possible.
I am experienced in developing software using the three-tiered models on
many different platforms – my experiences spans from database design and
implementation, business and functional logic at the server side as well as the
presentation layer implemented as an intuitive GUI or as interface to external
systems.
At Infocom Communication and Stento I was developing software for mobile
radio systems. I have developed software for the MSR3C radios for the Danish
Railways, Irish power supplies and the train installations for the Metro in
Lisbon. The development was made in C, Assembler and Pascal usually containing
high-performing multitasking systems in a hardware oriented environment.

Project Management
During my work at Logica, WM-data and Intracom I have become more and
more involved in the project management. The projects have involved the risk
analysis systems for customs clearance in Denmark, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta,
Lithuania and South Africa and others as well as a case
management and tracking system for South Africa Revenue Services. In my work I
am making the connection between the customer’s requirements and our
development team. My approach is to make the details as specific and
understandable as possible for both parties. Hereby the expectations of the
customer can be controlled and the development team knows what to develop. I
believe this is the key for a satisfied customer and an efficient and
non-frustrated development team. Due to my experience with the systems and my
understanding of the customer’s needs, I am usually acting in these two roles:
1)
Representing the customer when we are designing the
systems
2)
On behalf of the developers I am representing the
system for the customer and discussing the possibilities in the systems and which
new functions that can be implemented.
During my employment at Infocom Communication and Stento my working
method was defined according to the standards specified by the companies
through the ISO 9000 and AQAP certification. Following such strict methods
causes a lot of overhead in the processes and is also time consuming due to the
large number of meetings that must be held; however the results were high
quality products but also more expensive. At my work at Intracom I am daily
facing the opposite situation, where documentation and QA are a secondary
priority in order to minimize costs, at the expense of the products quality.
For that reason I have started several initiatives for introducing a more standardized
working method. I believe that the optimum working method differs from company
to company according to their actual size and products and the optimum can be
found somewhere in between a total controlled development process and
“anarchy”.
Consultancy
and Specification
During the projects I am in close contact with the customers to
establish their requirements and to perform the specifications for the systems
as well as the installation and configuration of the final system. Due to these
activities I have gained a lot experience in travel and I have improved my
English language skills. The customers are the end customer (sometimes
representing the end-user) as well as prime contractors (generally other
companies to which our system interfaces). In both situations my task is to
ensure progress in the specifications, the development of the systems as well
as taking future systems in to considerations – I believe that a well-designed
system provides the possibility for reusing system components, which in short
terms can be a little more expensive but in the long terms benefits because
already developed system components developed in a flexible way does not need
to be redesigned, redeveloped and retested.
Training /
Workshops
Because of my many close contacts with the
customers and because of my knowledge of the products, I am also training the
customers in the use of our products. These workshops spans typically over 2-3
days (sometimes more). I find it very inspiring communicating knowledge and
giving new skills to other people. I sometimes feel a little nervous before the
start of a workshop but it does not take long before I fell rather comfortable
in the teacher role.
The preparation of a workshop and my teacher
role in the training sessions forces me to concretize my knowledge and
thoughts. I fell quite well in that role due to my belief in knowledge is of no
use unless you are able to communicate it.
Personality
I believe that an employee should not be
measured on the professional performance skills only, but also on the qualities
of the personality; a person having vast amounts of knowledge that they are
unable or unwilling to communicate benefits no-one.
I am a happy and open person easily to
befriend. I love a good laugh and like making gags. Initially I am expecting
other people to be honest and to have real intentions. In case I am confronted
with dishonesty or bad intentions my first intuition is to try to explain the
reason why – Basically I believe that people will not try to harm other people
unless it is done in self-defense. I prefer to put the positive sides of people
to the forefront instead of focusing on their negative sides. I understand and
respect that people are different, each having different reasons and
capabilities. I think this is a force rather than an obstacle and I disagree in
trying to “normalize” people by suppressing differences. I agree in the
fundamental rules in democracy that the decisions are made by the majority with
respect for the minority. I love taking part in a good discussion and I like to
listen to people’s opinions. I have a rather well defined set of reasons of how
life works but I also aware that my reasons sometimes need to be updated.
I am a relaxed person and dress according to
the actual situation. I enjoy working, I like being busy – but not all the
time. In my free time I am a family man, with a wife and kids (and a dog). I
have a passion for trains and in my spare time I love designing electronic
circuits and writing programs for a model railway club in which I am a member.
