Softwaremaker - Professional Profile

{ My name is Willie and I have delved into the depths of computer technology and programming since 1993 with Turbo-Pascal and Borland. I started with Microsoft Technologies with Visual Basic 3 and I am one of the earliest local embracers and adopters of Microsoft .NET Technologies.
 
I have been in areas of entrepreneurship, startups and enterprises and I am currently a Senior Consultant Architect with one of the premier System Integrator in Asia Pacific (NCS Pte Ltd). I lend my expertise in Software Solution Architecture, Engineering, Analysis and Design to the various project teams by helping them in scoping and managing large-scale enterprise level government and commercial software projects.
 
One of my areas of interest is in the technologies of Microsoft.Net and areas of Object-Oriented Programming Principles, Analysis and Design. The area I enjoy doing extensively is applying the patterns of Architechural Designs and Principles and modelling them to fit the business domains.
 
Another area of interest in which I spent a lot of time in is in the area of XML Web Services and I have done a fair bit of research and implementation work in applying Web Services in environments of Service-Oriented-Architectures (SOA).
 
I am also currently on the NICC team of Web Services Subject Matter Experts and is assisting National Infocomm Competency Centre (NICC) Singapore in the development of the Web Services Specialist Certificate Program. I am very actively participating in online newsgroups, user groups and forums by regularly contributing expertise and articles.
 
I am one of the moderators of the XML Web Services and Security User Groups in one of INETA's member sites : http://www.sgdotnet.org
 
I am also a Microsoft Regional Director. Please click here for more details about the Microsoft Regional Director Program.}
