Euroface Financial Services (Finix)

• Financial Services
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Software Developer

  • Jul 2013 - Present

  In my first two years with Euroface I only worked for Quion, both in Capelle and in Heerhugowaard. Osiris was further finetuned to meet Quions ever changing demands. Besides that I prepared all the Osiris software to be able to be hosted in the Quion datacenters and to be able to communicate with the Quion telephony software (which was kind of a challenge since Osiris is written in Delphi win32 and the CIC telephony software was written in .NET).In march 2015 the hosting of Osiris moved from DSB to Quion which made workplace management for people working with Osiris a lot easier. After that I worked about half of my time for Quion and half of my time on Euroface projects.For Euroface I started working on a large web-application. Technologies used are MariaDb, api's in PHP with SLIM framework, all running in Docker containers, authentication in firebase and the frontend in React. We use bitbucket with git and Jenkins for deploying on a centos host. I act as backend developer and as the devops.Early 2018 DSB decided to let some other servicers do their arrears management. This meant that Quion lost this contract and also that Quion did no longer need Osiris. I helped migrate the arrears management to two other servicers and in june of 2018 we went our seperate ways. Finqus (formerly known as DSB) knowing I was available hired me then for about half of my time from Euroface. Most work I do for Finqus has to do with the Finqus datawarehouse. Finqus being a bank with all their servicing outsourced receives a lot of data which has to be inserted in the Finqus datawarehouse. My job is extending this datawarehouse when necessary and maintaining the software that manages all this data. Besides that I also do some reporting, knowing all the databases quite well.Finqus works with SQL Server 2016. Most software is written in T-SQL stored procedures and functions. The incoming data is managed with ETL jobs.



DSB Bank NV in faillissement

• Software developer

  • Oct 2009 - Jun 2013

  After the bankruptcy of DSB the german loans were to be sold to the highest bidder. I assisted during the bidding process by answering all questions the bidders had about the data and about the systems involved. During this rather hectic time I learned to ignore emails sent after midnight because they would probably be rejected the next morning.After the german loans were sold I assisted the buyers analysts with their migration plans and I wrote the migration software according their specifications.With Gryphon out of the way I became the lead developer (team of two) on Osiris. Osiris was an arrearsmanagement system. All DSB arrears were loaded into Osiris every day and Osiris supported the handling of those arrears, both early in a callcenter and late in a collection agency. Osiris was a Delphi frontend and a SQLServer backend. Besides the main frontend, Osiris consisted of several server applications also written in Delphi.Then DSB agreed to outsource the servicing of all their loans to Quion including arrearsmanagement. Quion wanted Osiris to be kept alive and to be adjusted to their own workflows. So I translated their specifications into 11 functional designs and started planning and coding with my teammember. In june 2013 the DSB loans were transfered to the Quion systems. Osiris, now supporting both DSB and Quion workflows, would still be hosted by DSB because Quion telephony (which Osiris was supposed to drive) was not suitable for a callcenter. Although Osiris was still hosted by DSB, Quion now was the owner of Osiris and Quion wanted Euroface to do the Osiris development and support. Euroface then asked me to come working for them which I happily agreed to.



DSB Bank NV

• Germany
• Financial Services

• Software Developer

  • Jan 2006 - Oct 2009

  My first project was making a new backoffice bank application for DSB Bank Germany. I was the projectleader in a team of four developers. I maintained contacts with users, third parties, planned the resources and developed a large part of the project myself. The system was called Gryphon and went live in oktober 2006. Gryphon was a Delphi frontend against a SQL server backend. In 2009 I was involved in 4 projects. I was the only developer on Gryphon. By 2009 Gryphon was filled with about a 5000 loans both consumptive and first lien mortgage credit.The other 3 projects were related to the new core banking application DSB wanted to use. This was Finacle of the indian company InfoSys. Finacle was supposed to replace several backend applications of DSB. I was a team member in the migration of VSF to Finacle. VSF was written in foxpro and contained 5 billion euro of loans. In this project I was more an analist then a developer. I translated the Finacle migration requirements to something the DSB foxpro developers could work with.I was the lead developer in the migration from Quaestor to Finacle. Quaestor was the savings bank application of DSB. The migration sofwtare was written in Oracle PL/SQL and my team consisted of 4 developers including myself.I was the lead developer in migrating the BASEL II internal rating based models to Finacle. This software was also written in Oracle PL/SQL.In all my Finacle projects I had to maintain the contacts with the indian engineers. The first time you speak with an indian engineer it takes you some time to realize they are speaking english. DSB had about 50 indian engineers on location in Wognum.By the time DSB went bankrupt I was a very busy man and to be quite honest a little relieved that all my deadlines suddenly had disappeared.
