Hello

My name is Richard Brimson. In 1999 I joined Absa as a entry level Cobol developer. Since then I have gained a good understanding of mainframe development and development life cycle. I started working on back end systems that handled monitoring of a vendor supplied scoring system. I also developed front end systems using in house screen layout software. Over time I felt the need to improve my skills and learn more about web development. I began to learn about HTML, CSS and PHP. After a little photoshop and some creativity I created my first website. I was hooked. Since then I have spent some of my spare time working on ideas for websites. I have been lucky enough to be able to implement a few of them and see my creativity in the public domain. You can see a few of them in my portfolio.

My Journey

In recent years I have left the world of Cobol to explore a career in Java. After a short stint and a canceled project I found myself back doing Cobol, this time for the internet banking team. Could this be a step into the right team which would one day enable me to do what I enjoy so much? Indeed it was. Before long I found myself on various training courses. One of the most beneficial courses was Backbase's web portal development training. Finally I was doing something I loved as a job. 2 years later and I find myself confident in the skills of XSLT, CSS, JavaScript and GUI design.

Background

I have started to explore other Java based development platforms / frameworks such as Google Web Toolkit and the Android SDK. Content management systems have also caught my eye. I have been reseaching CMS applications such as Wordpress in order to learn more about development standards and coding practices. Some of my more recent websites have used Wordpress as a core with my own custom themes and code.

I am focused and dedicated to solving problems. I enjoy implementing new technologies and integrating with other applications. I am hard working and a good team player. I always take ownership of my work and do my best to provide quality.

Since 2012 I have been working at FNB Online as a web developer. I have worked on upgrading frameworks and maintaining existing ones. I have been involved with supporting the banking and sales teams with front-end development but my primary role has been to assist with the "Pre-login" web sites. These sites have included www.fnb.co.za, www.rmbprivatebank.com and FNBs African sites. Some of the skills that i have learnt over the past while have been the likes of JSTL, Ant and Google Tag Manager among others.
