2000 June – 2002 March : EDS Adelaide Solution Centre, Adelaide South Australia Software Engineer (full-time, various projects) The EDS Adelaide Solution Centre provides software solutions and support to EDS and clients in the Government, Finance and Transport sectors. As a software engineer at EDS, I was involved in a number of Web development and support projects in technical lead and configuration controller roles. All projects followed an EDS global software model and the Adelaide group is accredited at the Software Engineering Institute’s Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level 3 standard. Skills used and developed in these projects included:
The main projects I was involved in are summarised below. Project: EDS Asia Pacific Web hosting Internet Web site Client: EDS Marketing and Portfolio Services Years: 2000 – current I developed and maintained a web site, www.eds.net.au/webhosting including a quick-quote Web application. Implemented in ASP on a Windows Site Server with an SQL server back-end, the application queries visitors about their hosting requirements, selects a pre-packaged or custom solution from the database and provides an initial quote to the visitor. The system generates a unique quote number and sends a confirmation email to the visitor and a notification email to the appropriate sales team. The application was successful enough to attract the attention of global EDS marketing managers who commissioned an international version for the global EDS Web site, www.eds.com. The international version was implemented for Netscape Enterprise Server connecting to a database via Netscape Livewire, all running in a Unix environment. Project: Premier and Ministers' Web site Client: Office of the Premier of the Government of South Australia Years: 2000 – current I provided production support for a web site, www.ministers.sa.gov.au and www.premier.sa.gov.au, implementing enhancements to the site. The site’s content is stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database, and includes Web forms that allow the client to update existing sections of the site with new text and images, and add or remove sub-sections of the site. Major changes I implemented included:
Project: MAP Client: EDS Asia Pacific Client Delivery Executives Years: 2000 I worked on a WAP / WML implementation for a Web application that filtered and forwarded high-severity help-desk alerts via Short Message Service (SMS) messages to certain staff mobile phones. Project: AdSC Intranet Web site Client: EDS Adelaide Solution Centre Years: 2000 I lead a team of three Web developers to redevelop the Intranet Web site. We surveyed a cross-section of management and other teams within the Solution Centre to determine a set of consistent and feasible requirements, then designed and produced the new site, using HTML / ASP / VBScript / JavaScript / SQL / Flash.

We were deliberately kept independent of existing Y2K assessment and compliance projects being run internally by the Corporate and Information Systems section of Transport SA. The outcome of our work overlapped to some degree with that of the internal assessment and to this extent we served to reinforce some issues. Where our assessment differed, certain issues were highlighted as needing to be addressed or further investigated.
