customers to easily view designs and require

Project Overview
I originally did this software in 2001 in VB6 for Eagle Tattoos when Monsta Ink wanted to use
the program I decided to Rewrite it, this was my first C# Project and it was a huge
success. It has successfully helped customers and provided the owners of Monsta
Ink with a massive increase in sales and customer care over the last 4 years. The
software consists of many fantastic features that I implemented over and above
the scope to make it that much better. For example, the ability to zoom in and out,
to change a picture to Grayscale, to change the viewing layout and much more.

Scoring Software
Design, install and commission software
that allows spectators to view scores
and current position on a large digital
scoreboard. Design, install and
commission software that allows staff
to easily manage scores and schedules
of events, to keep records of all horses

Access Database
Manages, SQL, C#,
Serial Communication
Project Overview
This project was sponsored by Land Rover and other large companies. I managed to implement this
system by dissembling a pc and mounting it inside a scoreboard that I built myself and used rs232
communication to pass information from the pc to the digital display, when the scoreboard was
connected to power then the pc would automatically switch on and run a program that I designed to
read from an Access Database that was stored on the pc. Inside the scoreboard I mounted a Wi-Fi
router. Then I designed a program that ran on 2 touch screen laptops that was used by the 2 judges
that input their scores directly into the database. This project was a very good learning experience
and was a big success. The first time the system was operated was at the largest KZN dressage event
of the year and was even focused on by live television. Have a look at this link which a review from the
KZN Dressage Committee - http://www.kzndressage.co.za/instant-dressage-scores-a-sucess/

2013 Gumtree Reloader An automated program that deletes and
then posts adverts on Gumtree
PhpMyAdmin, SQL, C#
Project Overview
This project was implemented to not only help advertise my own services but to also earn a passive
income by posting adverts for customers. By clicking record, the software records the position of
every mouse click and what is typed while I post an advert and stores it in a sequence of events that
is understood by the software in order to replay the recording easily. The software also has a
management feature that allows me to easily change the wording, price, pictures, category, area and
more of each advert. Building this program taught me more about programming than any other
project I have worked on. With over 20 000 lines of code it has many more features and tricks that
make it work so well. Below is a photo of my “Employees” posting 2160 Gumtree adverts a day. If I
make a change to the program, I upload it to my server and all the machines update to the latest
version automatically.

2013 Hitachi Inkjet Lucky
Numbers
Design, install and commission software
for Seagle InketCoding that allowed
employees at the factories that rented
there machines to easily be able to
import a list of lucky numbers and print
them onto the products.
PhpMyAdmin, SQL, C#,
Serial Communication
Project Overview
This project was implemented in many factories and when it came to printing the numbers onto the
products ensuring that no duplicate numbers were printed, this proved difficult because of the
amazing speed of the printers and especially when there are over 6 machines in a single product line.
I am pleased that in the end the project was successful and was implemented before the given
deadline. I was also contracted by this company to create the lucky numbers. I wrote a small
program that created 10 million random unique numbers between 10 million and a 100 million.

The challenge was the program was built on a 286 with 8mb ram and 400mb hard drive and the
400,000,000 calculations took 10 hours to compile.
The second time I built the program I rewrote it in Borland Turbo C , it took 51 seconds to compile.
The third build was in VB6 and included a depth map builder.
