Very early on I realized my passion for all things digital and logic (0s and 1s) so I soon forged a new career path into the world of programming, first as a hobby then eventually a full career choice as a PC technician and software and database programmer. Having progressed through most of the early programming languages like assembler, Delphi, C++ and VB, my career path took a vertical jump up into databases. Dbase, FoxPro and MS-Access initially, then swiftly progressed into large databases like MS-SQL, MySQL, Oracle, Interbase, SyBase and several others. By the 90’s the internet brought a whole new array of career paths where I excelled in PHP, ASP and VBScript. It became easy for programmers to programmatically manipulate any MS Office components through VBA, of course I jumped at the opportunity and developed many VBA based office apps that were either MS-Access or MS SQL Server connected. Early in the new millennium I had acquired much needed exposure and experience in a broad range of business and industry sectors, using several programming languages and databases. However, the company that I had enjoyed working at (BJ Technologies, Durbanville) for 12 years, went belly up and I was forced to seek challenging, enjoyable and financially viable employment elsewhere. For another 8 years I worked for FindSA on different projects within and across our borders until they also closed, so chose to be self-employed until 2019, firmly realizing that I miss team work too much. My desire to join a modern, yet stable company led me to seriously re-consider the job market where I was successfully and happily employed by Novation Technologies as a T-SQL & MS-Access (VBA) developer until end of 2022. Although my contract officially ended December 2022, my ex boss (Ric, from Novation Technologies) gave me a private 9x month temporary job to create a complete solution (Digital Identity) on Microsoft Azure.
