My professional computer CV

I specialise in using Microsoft Access as my base software for data storage/manipulation and complex statistical, metrics and graphs reporting in completing my various job roles.  I have used MS Access for more than 7 years.

I worked on IBM mainframe systems for about 15 years before moving onto personal computers.  I still take IBM mainframe jobs when offered to me.

I started in the computer profession in 1977 after graduating from Control Data Institute with a Diploma of Computer Operations, and completing a number of tertiary computer subjects.

After more than four years in computer operations, I moved into computer programming on IBM mainframes.

From then on my career expanded mostly into computer contracting into such roles as analyst/programmer, analyst, test analyst, test team leader, configuration manager, change manager, QA manager, project manager.  As a contractor I take whatever job is offered to me, giving me quite a diverse range of experiences.

I have worked overseas in Brunei Darussalam, being one of 6 A/P's to convert the Brunei Shell systems from imperial to metric measurement, and recently in Singapore as a test advisor/manager to the Singapore government.
