As a Software Developer, my role includes, but not limited to, developing systems for clients using technologies that are either preferred by a client, or are recommended by our Project Manager. One of the clients’ system uses C# Web API, ASP.NET pages with VB.NET (older processes), AngularJS (newer processes), IPP Workflow, MS SQL database (for workflow process and intermediate data) and OMNI database (for persistent data). I am currently the only developer who work on all these divisions of the project. Other projects that I am responsible for includes - our companies’ client-facing websites (developed in WordPress), client portal called eCompen Web (which allows clients to view their portfolio statements and is developed using PHP and MySQL) and eCompen Mobile (which gives an overview of the user’s portfolio including their investments status, developed using Flutter). I mentored 11 Interns at our company, who became Junior Developers, and today some of them have become Senior Developers.
As a Lead Developer of Voter Registration Management System, I have also been a System Architect of the system. I had to research different technologies and methodologies that could help us accomplish the required functionality, at a lower cost. I have also been involved in writing system workflow, technical manuals and technical specifications for the systems. I was also a Supervisor and mentor to the Junior Developers. I guided them and assisted them in their assignments.
I joined Diversified Technologies when they needed someone who can assist with transitioning from ColdFusion to ASP.net. I was the Architect and Senior Systems Engineer in the birth of Centricity Amber. To maintain the functionality of the ColdFusion web application while developing the C# web application, I replicated the ColdFusion functionalities in C# and vice versa. With the assistance of the IT Director (and owner of the business) I single-handedly developed the first part of the system, which was Guest Satisfaction Surveys (CSI). The system was designed to be modular from the onset, and therefore was easy to build in the Online Reputation Management (ORM) and Document Manager (Image Library which started as a stand-alone application called DigiShare www.tsogosundigishare.com)
As a Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer, my role is to oversee the overall running of all entities. MINE Trading & Projects houses 4 businesses – IT (Web/Software Development), Business Administration, Media Production and Health & Beauty Spa. In the IT division, we develop Websites, Online Applications and Android Applications. In the Business Administration division, we help SMMEs with their business documentation and filing. We have also been working with NPOs, particularly Early Childhood Development Centres with creating files specifically for Social Development, Fire Department and Land Use (Consent Use). In Media Production, my role is to marry the lyricists, singers and producers. I listen to voices, melodies, lyrics and find the balance then book the studio for recording. I have also been involved in assisting a local Film producer with directing their movies. In the Health & Beauty Spa, I am primarily responsible for data collection and have done that by designing service specific forms for clients. I have also been acting as a male massage therapist where clients needed a stronger hand.
