In 1991 I moved to POST\footnote{POST - Point Of Sales Terminal} Software International in Hamburg, Germany and specialised in OS/2 and C based POS Terminal and backend server applications. POST Software International have since been absorbed by Fujitsu and continue to be market leaders in POS SW and Servicing. In 2004 I moved to Dublin, Ireland for personal reasons and worked for almost 8 years for POINT Information Systems developing CRM\footnote{CRM - Customer Relationship Management} software in our own in house language as well as developing a C++ based GUI independent layer to enable our application to run on Windows and OS/2 with no changes to the business applications . Project managed and designed core components for the new generation application involving Business Objects and N-Tier servers. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=4em]{guinness} \end{center} Following the old adage that \textit{a change is a good as a break} I decided to take an extended break from IT and bought a bar and music venue in Hamburg. During the past years I have stayed active in SW, developing my own suite of software in PHP and CSS to provide a flexible and powerful framework for the development of small websites for bars and clubs. It runs on Linux servers and uses MySQL as a backend. During this period I have become familiar with the Linux/Gnu based Debian Operating system which I use at home for development, my own web server, rdbms and mail server and also for the audio and visual set up in the bar. My particular love is Gnu Emacs\cite{emacs}. \subsection{Position Sought} I am looking for a challenging project in a forward thinking company that will drive me and which will, in turn, benefit from my skill set and the dedicated approach that I have demonstrated throughout my career. My skills and abilities would suit a wide variety of positions including development management, applications development, sales and technical sales. As can be seen from the references provided, I am a flexible and committed individual who works well in a team environment as well as alone or away from the corporate office. I am not tied to individual platforms or tool sets. Part of that is what makes me a valuable asset in that I judge projects, processes and tool chains on their merit and efficiency and am therefore well positioned to select the best tools and resources for the job having ascertained the needs of the project or projects in question. I feel I can be trusted to ensure that my skills are best matched to the problems and efforts required to produce a quality IT product regardless of the sector or technical skill sets required. If you have a position that you feel might benefit from my skills and approach then contact me to discuss possibilities at your convenience. For short term contract work possibly you are looking for someone who can \begin{itemize} \item Rapidly isolate bugs using the tools at hand and provide timely fixes. \item English language QA and review of your system's internationalised interface. \item Review and comment on architecture designs. \item Assess and review programming teams efficiencies, strengths and also weaknesses. \item Do on site consultancy and provide feedback to the centralised development teams from customer installations. \item Advise and help on move to Open Source Operating Systems and Software in order to provide a more reliable and better value infrastructure \item Advise you on your existing development and IT administration processes. \end{itemize} My preference is contract work but am willing to discuss full time employment if a suitable match is found between that which your company offers and what I feel is a promising and far reaching career in the IT sector. \newpage \section{Personal Details} \subsection{Contact Information} \begin{tabular}{p{7em} p{\textwidth}} Full Name : & Richard Graeme Riley\\ Nationality: & British\\ Email: & rileyrg@googlemail.com\\ Mobile: & +49 162 7110593\\ Address: & Augustenpassage 17\\ & 20357 Hamburg\\ & Germany\\ Homepage: & \url{http://www.richardriley.net}\\ \end{tabular} \subsection{Education and Qualifications} \subsubsection[Degree] {Bachelor Of Science 2.1 Hons.} \begin{tabular}{p{7em}p{\textwidth}} Date: & 1986-1989\\ Course: & Computer Systems Engineering\\ University: & University Of Kent At Canterbury\\ Description: & Hybrid degree covering Analog and Digital Electronics and Software Engineering.

My first Z80 programming was done on the Camputers Lynx. An interesting machine which allowed the programmer to store code in the video memory. I wrote a PacMan in Z80 machine code for the Lynx : it involved laboriously translating the assembler into hex machine code and entering the code via the built in monitor. My \emph{Defender} clone \emph{Hoverzone} was published for the Sinclair QL in 1986. See \url{http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/games.html} for a somewhat dated looking screen shot. This was very well reviewed and was considered one of, if not the best action game for the QL. It was written in 100\% 68008 Assembler. The project wore out my microdrives and forced an investment in an external floppy drive! My first. It's hard to imagine how things were back then when one sees the modern entertainment and development software available! \subsubsection{Later Technical Interests} At present I am familiarising myself with the Open Source Software movement and am experimenting with Linux. My development machine, work machine, and mail server and web server all run Debian Lenny. I have an interest in the Emacs editor and have invested considerable time in re-familiarising myself with emacs - an editor used to good affect while working on a Unix system for the MOD developing ADA models to simulate Air Defence Systems. Exclusive use of Emacs to develop documents, websites and CV material using various extension modes. I have also contributed back to projects such as org-mode and nxhtml in order to help advance the Open Source projects. Under the Linux platform I have developed and published my own multi-lingual web site supporting unlimited languages and "Live" translation and event management on my site at \url{http://www.shamrockirishbar.com/index.php}. As behoves an OSS based development, the demonstration videos are in OGG format. It makes use of PHP and CSS interfaced to a MySQL database to maintain events and messages in multiple languages. I currently maintain 4 machines all running versions of the Debian OS. This includes my main development machine (Debian Squeeze), a Debian Stable IMAP, MySQL and Apache server, a Debian Stable IBM Thinkpad X30 and a Debian Stable Audio Visual workstation in my bar. All are interconnected using SSH and RSA public keys and synchronised using rsync. On my main develop machine I run a version of Vista in order to test Windows specific web browsers with my php/css development. Despite being a convert to the benefits of Debian and Emacs I am not an OSS zealot and have used both Windows and OS/2 throughout my professional career with no issues. \subsubsection{Sport and Non Technical Interests} I have always enjoyed watching and playing sport and was captain of my school table tennis team, represented my schools at First XV Rugby, First XI Cricket and represented the British Universities and Torbay ABC in the amateur boxing ring. I have always enjoyed cycling and my summer vacations generally involve long cycle rides on my hand built bicycle with panniers laden with stoves and tent. Some of my rides can be seen here \url{http://richardriley.net/bike/index.html#sec-2} or here \url{http://gpsed.com/user/rileyrg}. \newpage \section{Employment History} \subsection{Point Information Systems} \subsubsection{Employment Details} \begin{longtable}{p{0.2\linewidth}p{0.8\linewidth}} \endfirsthead \multicolumn{2}{c}{POINT Skill Summary continued\vspace{2em} }\endhead \\ Location&Dublin, Ireland.\\ Dates&June 1994 - November 2001 \\ \\ \multicolumn{2}{c}{\textbf{Development of Industry leading CRM product}}\\\\ Introduction&POINT was a fairly new company which had just moved its R\&D to Dublin Ireland, was hired as an Analyst Programmer in june 1994. Initially was tasked with learning the in house language, POP, and fixing bugs in the DOS product. After that I migrated to the team responsible for porting that SW to the Windows GUI Environment. Shortly after that I applied and was accepted to the OS/2 migration team whose task was to create a GUI and Platform in dependant layer to enable us to develop platform independent business application software.\\ POP&Gained proficiency with their in house OO language POP, an Object Orientated language featuring late binding and platform independent p-code generation while understanding the developing core application framework. POP would be similar in concept to Java. Extended core libraries to provide more object orientated features to better enable code reuse.\\ &\begin{center} \textbf{Migration Of Application to Windows Platform} \end{center}\\ Windows Development& Responsible for various modules including UI and business logic design for the cross table filtering tools (including designing and implementing all commonly used search operators an operator might need in and RDBM independent manner) Product extended to utilise various RDBMS systems using in house language as a DB independent API.\\ Architecture&Architecture included a novel "Secondary Entry" approach which enabled all classes and objects to be redefined or extended on site without needing to modify the core product. Part if the core application development team tasked with high priority development to meet important schedules and deadlines.\\ &\begin{center} \textbf{OS/2 Migration} \end{center}\\ C++, OS/2 and IBM&Modified the C++ language kernel and Windows GUI DLLs to compile under OS/2 to enable seamless integration of POP application code with Windows or OS/2. Out team of 3 wrote a layer to emulate the Win32 API by calling relevant OS/2 Presentation Manager and GPI API calls. Where necessary redesigned the higher level business application to ensure it could work with the platform independant GUI layer.\\ Responsibilities& Managed team of up to 30 people concentrating on removing any platform specifics from application code and ironing out issues with the Presentation manager API at the C++ level.\\ Customer Interaction&Successfully managed the project acceptance test with IBM generating significant income for the company.\\ & \begin{center} \textbf{Project Manager For Next Generation N-Tier Product} \end{center}\\ Task&Design and implementation of the "next generation" of POINT product.\\ Business Objects&Move to Business Objects and scripting/workflow automation for multiple servers and client independent logic flow.\\ Scripting&Personally redesigned and implemented the core action engine which was responsible for processing work flows and scripts for the products business objects. Extended the graphical tools for designing the workflows to include transaction points, post and pre-action hooks amongst other improvements.\\ Training&Conducted periodic, highly successful technical architecture and language training to customer sites.\\ Sales&Participated in on site sales drives and technical presentations to potential new clients and existing client base alike. Including new architecture presentations to the annual user conference and the annual company review.\\ &\begin{center} \textbf{Miscellaneous} \end{center}\\ Development Environment&Designed and implemented a totally new UI and functionality for the in house development environment including class browsers, hot linking of code and context sensitive help for the on site consultant and in office programmer.\\ Presentations&Frequently performed sales support presentations in addition to presenting new architectures at the yearly customer show.\\ Hiring&Responsible for recruitment drives and attracting the best new students from Universities.

Attracted to POST Software International because of their relatively small sized development teams, investment in new development facilities in Hamburg and their overall enthusiasm for growth and new technologies I joined them in late 1991 as an Analyst Programmer. My professional C experience was effectively zero, however in the break between Logica and my application to PSI, I had developed a suite of graphics libraries for the IBM and its VGA standard in a mixture of 386 machine code and C++ on the Borland C++ 2.0 IDE. Moving to the Microsoft compiler environment employed by PSI was not seen as a significant hurdle.\\ Job Description&Analyst Programmer responsible for wide variety of SW engineering tasks.\\ C Development & Included design and implementation of POS and backoffice SW in the C programming language both "in house" and on site for partners IBM Frankfurt. The back office applications consisted of the financial calculations at the end of the day in addition period reporting. The reporting and total calculations all protected by fault tolerant locks to ensure no discrepancies.\\ OS/2 \& DOS&Primarily worked with IBM OS/2 server systems. The POST ran DOS.\\ On Site Customer Interaction& Worked on site for IBM during our testing phases for "Big Store" - stores using more that 100 POS Terminals simultaneously - the test environment set up at IBM Frankfurt. The Big Store project was primarily aimed at retail super stores such as Hertie and Alster Haus.\\ Awards&Received numerous bonuses and awards for dedication and quality of work in addition to overtime and weekend presence during potential deadline overrun.\\ Summary& The period in Germany working for PSI was extremely rewarding in terms of both professional and social life. The team was a hard working and talented small team who worked well together to meet difficult deadlines. Using C for the first time in a professional environment brought its own rewards and skill set as well as giving me the opportunity to use C debuggers for the first time to locate issues in a very large code base in an efficient and timely manner. \end{longtable} \subsubsection{References} \begin{longtable}{p{0.2\linewidth}p{0.8\linewidth}} \endfirsthead \multicolumn{2}{c}{PSI References continued\vspace{2em}}\endhead \\ Name&\textbf{Ole Grossklaus}\\ Role&Independent Software Consultant\\ Email&Ole.Grossklaus@hanse.net\\ Mobile&+49-160-7155485\\ Home&+49-40-30981422\\ \vspace{1em}\\ Reference (German)&\emph{In der Zeit vom Juni 1991-Juni 1994 habe ich mit Richard Riley zusammen gearbeitet.

Agreed to be sub contracted to RSRE Malvern as an Analyst programmer to work on an ADA simulation for the MOD (Ministry Of Defence) to analyse networking requirements for an Air Defence System The model I was assigned to work on was a large ADA model modelling the network requirements for the backbone of the Air Defense System : it typically took between 24 and 36 hours to process a scenario generated by other systems. The resulting reports were then gathered and presented to MOD personnel who could request system tweaks in order to maximise throughput and data integrity.\\ Tasks&General bug fixing, maintenance and implementation of new requests on a VAX VMS System. All work was classified and the results were for cleared personnel only.\\ Personal Achievements& During the familiarisation phase I noticed a lot of duplication and therefore increased maintenance requirements: reduced maintenance costs by replacing task specific code modules with ADA generics. Replaced the entire central data processing core with generic FIFO message queues with expedited message handling in order to bring the model run time down from more than twenty four hours to about two and a half hours. Made responsible for porting the complex ADA model to the Convex Super Computer including rewriting all the terminal IO and dealing with endian issues with the simulator model data.\\ Customer Liason&Technical presentations to Malvern Science Officers and US Military sponsors.\\ Summary&My first job out of University was a challenging and fulfilling role. A lot of responsibility very quickly in an enjoyable work environment. My decision to leave Logica after almost 2 years was based on my wish to travel - something that was not available within CSG\footnote{CSG - Command Systems Group} at that point. \end{longtable} \subsubsection{References} \begin{longtable}{p{0.2\linewidth}p{0.8\linewidth}} \endfirsthead \multicolumn{2}{c}{Logica References continued\vspace{2em}}\endhead \\ Name&\textbf{Jack Ramsay}\\ Role&Project Manager at Logica, now European Director of Quality, Products Operating Group.
