RIAAN OBERHOLSTERSOFTWARE DEVELOPER AT EOH MICROSOFT SERVICES

[email protected]

SUMMARY

"To be the best at what I do". I strive to do exactly what the previous statement says. As a programmer I work well under pressure and get things done when they are needed while maintaining quality. With over 5 years programming experience through tutoring and projects at university as well as the job experience I have so far, I have striven to build a solid cornerstone for my programming career before it began. I learn quickly and will be able to adapt to any situation that requires it. Being the best at Computer studies, 2nd best at Maths and science at Matric in High school was only the beginning for me.

The projects included using a scripting language developed for POS devices and ran on a C code core. I was in charge of creating the Core for the new POS devices as well as debugging the old ones. The core worked over TCP/IP connections that were made over 3G/GPRS to a backend that had connections to SQL databases and to banking systems. The backend servers were coded in vba.net and C#.net and had to include encryption and user authentication.
