From          To           Company
1998-08-01    2003-05-31   Derivco /
                           I was employed as a permanent employee at Derivco in the role of Senior
                           Developer, in the Casino Management Systems department. My responsibility
                           was to identify, develop and maintain back office systems to allow the Operators
                           of online casinos to manage their player base and business.

                           As the most experienced member of a small 4 man team, I was responsible for
                           many areas across the Software Development Lifecycle. From analysis and
                           design, through development, testing, and deployment.

                           My primary focus was on the back office databases. I was responsible for all areas
                           related to the design, normalization, creation, population, and performance of the
                           databases. With hundreds of millions of dollars being cycled through the accounts,
                           it was vital that the integrity of the data be maintained.

                   I also focused on system architectures, designing solutions to overcome the
                   problems associated with a highly distributed Player and Operator base, slow and
                   unreliable internet connections, and the necessity for real-time control of
                   geographically disparate resources.

                   I was also responsible for presenting Derivco‟s Back Office systems to
                   prospective clients, and gave several presentations at the annual Microgaming
                   Operators Conferences and the Fraud Control Conferences in Durban, London and

                   During my time at Derivco, the company grew from a small Internet Startup, to
                   the leading provider of online gaming systems in the world, controlling over 60%
                   of online gaming.
                                            Player Tracking System
                                            This system allowed the operator to track statistics related
                                            to his player base, such as games played, profit and loss
                                            figures, most popular games, purchases made, and
                                            cashins requested. It also allowed him to perform
                                            operations against a player, such as locking, unlocking,
                                            messaging, and crediting his account.

                                            It synchronized data from multiple Casinos, hosted in
                                            different geographical locations around the globe, and
                                            presented a unified view of this data to Operators.
                                            Promotions system
                                            I designed and developed the Back Office components of
                                            the Promotions system. The system allowed players to
                                            claim promotions via an ASP web page. It then credited
                                            his account, and tracked the usage of the credits. It
                                            allowed operators to identify successful promotional
                                            types, and attract new business.
                                            Loyalty System
                                            I designed and developed the Loyalty system. It kept
                                            track of a players usage of the casino, and automatically
                                            calculated and credited loyalty tokens to their account.s It
                                            was designed to retain players by rewarding them for
                                            loyalty. It was a challenging project, due to the extremely
                                            high volumes of transactions begin generated by the
                                            Ad Tracking System
                                            I designed the mechanism to allow Operators to perform
                                            “closed-loop” analysis of their advertising. Web banners
                                            would direct players to the casinos web site. If he chose
                                            to download the software, the system would inject a
                                            unique “tracking” tag in the downloaded software. This
                                            would then allow the operator to determine the
                                            profitability of a marketing campaign, by allowing him to
                                            determine the profit and loss figures of all players who
                                            responded to that campaign.
                                            Banking Switching Systems
                                            I designed several mechanisms to allow the operator to
                                            dynamically switch between different purchase options.
                                            Players have several, unreliable methods with which to
                                            purchase tokens. The system would allow the operator to
                                            switch from an unavailable purchase method to an
                                            available method, thus preventing player loss.
                                            IP Location System
                                            I designed and implemented a system to determine a

                            players geographical location based on his IP Address.
                            The system interfaced to the Quova system.
                            Cashin Manager
                            I was involved with the design of the database for the
                            Cashin Manager. This system allowed operators to
                            refund a players winnings back into his credit card, or
                            into the account of his choice. My design presented the
                            operators with a unified view of a players purchases and
                            accounts, across all different purchase mechanisms.
                            Fraud Control System
                            I took a particular interest in helping the Casinos manage
                            online fraud. Because transactions committed on the
                            internet do not have a corresponding „proof of purchase‟
                            slip, the risk of charge back is higher. A significant
                            number of charge backs going through a merchant
                            account, will result in that account being suspended by
                            the Bank, effectively removing the casinos ability to
                            transact. It is therefore essential to identify potentially
                            fraudulent players and transactions, before they are

                            I designed and developed a real-time Fraud Control
                            System. The system integrated tightly into the existing
                            Gaming engine, and performed a series of checks and
                            tests against activity occurring on the casino. It was
                            highly configurable, and allowed different operators, with
                            differing appetite for risk, to manage their business
                            differently. It was also designed to be easily extensible,
                            with a plugin architecture allowing new modules and
                            checks to be integrated. A challenge of this system was
                            to design it as an asynchronous system, to minimize the
                            impact on real-time gaming.
                            I wrote the Application frameworks that gave all the back
                            office applications a common look and feel, and a
                            common shared security model.
                            Casper was the name given to the rewrite of the Back
                            Office Systems. We chose Microsoft .Net as our
                            platform, with C# as the development language.

                            We paid particular attention to the design of the system,
                            utilizing a layered architecture, with specialized
                            components on each layer, responsible for the Database
                            manipulation, Business Rules implementation, and
                            Communication. We also took the opportunity to utilize
                            the appropriate design patterns : to increase scalability
                            and performance, utilizing proxies, caching managers,
                            database connection pooling managers in the middle
                            tiers; and utilizing separated interface patterns with class
                            factories to implement a plugin architecture in the client

                            We also took advantage of new technologies such as Web
                            Services, SOAP and XML, and also new features in the
                            .Net framework such as reflection.

                            We adopted Microsoft‟ “Inductive User Interface” for the
                            look and feel of the system.

                                                   Although I was not the team lead on this project, I had
                                                   the opportunity to learn an incredible amount about true

                                                   32 bit platforms. They all utilized a SQL Server database
                                                   as the data repository. The initial systems were written in
                                                   Borland Delphi. Later systems were written in C# for
                                                   .Net. Web front ends were scripted in HTML and ASP.
                                                   Certain frameworks were written using COM.

                                                   Designs were mostly documented using use cases in
                                                   Word, with diagrams created in Visio. Rational rose was
                                                   used briefly to create Class Diagrams. Power Designer
                                                   was also used briefly for class diagrams. Sybase Data
                                                   Architect was used for Database Entity Attribute

                                                   The systems were all written using object oriented
                                                   languages and techniques.

                                                   During the last two years at Derivco, we attempted to
                                                   comply to CMM level 3, by creating a series of

1996-11-30    1998-07-31   I.D. King CC
                           During this period, I worked for several companies as an independent contractor,
                           developing systems in Delphi. My primary contract was with Anglo American
                           Property Services.
                           Anglo American           I was employed at AMPROS as a senior developer. I was
                           Property Services        responsible for converting the existing green-screen
                                                    mainframe based applications over to a Microsoft
                                                    Windows based, Client-Server architecture, utilizing

                            Interbase as the relational database, and using Delphi to
                            develop the Front Ends. I also mentored the existing
                            Mainframe developers in Event driven, windows based
                            programming, using RAD tools.
                            (In early 1998, AMPROS changed names to Sebenza
                            Management Services, who took over my contract.)
                            GEMINI - Purchase Order Accounts Payable System
                            This system was developed to control expenditure at the
                            various properties managed by AMPROS, to standardize
                            the purchasing and payment mechanism, and to help
                            reduce fraud.

                            Users captured orders into a centralized database, which
                            was then used to authorize and action the purchase.
                            Goods received were recorded, after which payments
                            were generated. Reports were also generated.

                            The system interfaced into an ACCPAC general ledger, it
                            also automated payments through EFT‟s via integration
                            with the CATS system. Programming was done in Delphi
                            1 (16 bit) using Interbase 3.5. Extensive use was made of
                            database stored procedures, triggers, events and

                            The system was deployed to over 300 sites throughout
                            South Africa. Because of the distributed nature of the
                            system, care had to be taken to ensure performance was
                            not compromised.
                            This was a reporting system. It extracted data from the
                            Unix systems, inserted it into an Interbase database, and
                            reported via a Delphi Front end.
                            Cost Management System
                            This system allowed data stored in ACCPAC to be
                            reported on in more meaningful groupings. It utilized
                            ODBC drivers to extract data from the ACCPAC BTreive
                            tables, and insert it into the Interbase database. It then
                            allowed the user to create an “overlay” account code, by
                            which he could access the data.
                            S.A.P.I.X. Office Vacancy System
                            SAPIX provide property statistics to the South African
                            property industry, such as vacancy rates, lettable areas,
                            min/max/mean asking rents. The system was written to
                            enable brokers to capture data about buildings in their
                            portfolios. This information was then exported to SAPIX,
                            who then consolidated all brokers data and produced
                            statistics based on a broader view of the industry. These
                            statistics are then returned to the individual brokers. My
                            role was to liaise with the client, determine requirements,
                            and design and develop the system.

                            primary business is the letting out of flats and apartments
                            in the city centre. The system was written to allow the
                            user to capture applications for housing, grade the
                            application, process the application and allocate a unit in
                            a building to the applicant. It maintained a database of all
                            buildings, flats and applicants. My role was to

                                           I developed a point-of-sale system for capturing quotes,
                                           orders and invoices for the sale of new PC's. The system
                                           also calculated and processed hire purchase instalments,

                                           Distribution Centre Invoicing System
                                           The distribution Centre Invoicing system was written as a
                                           point of sale system for agents selling Sportron products.
                                           It allowed the agent to download “marketing associate”,

                                           to the SQL server database. It was written in Delphi 3 and

                           Johannesburg City        I designed and developed an Inventory Control/Issuing
                           Council                  System. The system was written to control the issuing of
                                                    stock within certain departments, and to report on stock
                                                    levels. All purchases of new stock had to go through the
                                                    system. Likewise, stock would not be issued except
                                                    through the system. My role was to liaise with the

1995-03-01    1996-10-31   TLC Software
                           I was employed on a permanent basis at TLC software in the role of Developer.
                           TCL developed custom applications for DOS and Windows, for companies in the
                           engineering field. My role was to rewrite several applications from DOS to
                           Windows, and at a later stage to write several applications from scratch. I initially
                           programmed in Turbo Pascal, and Borland Pascal for Windows (TPW). I later
                           used Delphi, and was part of the early Beta program. The databases were Paradox,
                           Access, Sybase and Interbase.

                           Spoornet                 Wintrack
                                                    The Wintrack system allowed Spoornet to manage the
                                                    replacement cycle of “retarders” in their shunting yards.
                                                    The user could define a track layout, and calculate the
                                                    impact of rolling stock on individual retarders.
                                                    Employee Database
                                                    The employee database recorded data about Spoornet
                                                    employees. It allowed them to capture images of their
                                                    employees, which was quite novel at the time.

                                    I was employed by the family business, Softgold Products. During this time I
                                    rewrote large portions of Eclipse and wrote Table Handler. I also taught myself
                                    Windows programming, and object oriented and event driven programming.

                                                             Table Handler was an entity attribute modeling tool. It
                                                             allowed the user to capture data models. It then generated
                                                             the tables associated with the schema. It also had a

                                     After finishing Matric, I worked in the family Software business. I assisted with
                                     the development of an accounting package “Eclipse”. The package included a
                                     General Ledger, Debtors and Creditors, an Invoicing System, Journal Capture
                                     facility, and a customizable reporting module. It was written for DOS, using
                                     Turbo Pascal. I wrote several of the modules, and gained valuable exposure to
                                     accounting principles. The package was later shrink wrapped, and sold through
                                     several computer shops.

997 CF Center Console Install In Powered By Docstoc
					       Porsche 997 Carbon Fiber Center Console Install Instructions

Tools Required
      T-25 Torx bit
      T-20 Torx bit
      T-15 Torx bit
      T-10 Torx bit

      Ratchet and 10mm socket

      MAcarbon Interior Install Tools

      Flat Screwdriver
Blue Painter’s Tape
Use low-tack painter’s tape to protect interior
trim including the leather shift boot, shift knob,
and handbrake from damage.

Be sure to have a clean workbench on which to
transfer the components from the stock console to
the carbon console.

System for Tracking Fasteners
There are a number of screws and fasteners that
will come off during disassembly. A system for
identifying and tracking these screws will make
reassembly much easier!
Installation Steps
Although there are many steps to installing the carbon fiber center console, it is straightforward and
can be done by the owner with some simple tools.
Step Instructions                                            Photo
  1.   Disconnect the car’s battery using a ratchet and
       10mm socket.

 2.    Use an MAcarbon install tool to pry up the leather
       shift boot.

 3.    Once all clips around the shift boot have been pried
       up, lift up the shift boot. Some instructions say to
       remove the shift knob. The install is easier if it is
       removed. However, it is not always easy to get off! If
       precaution is taken by covering it with painters tape,
       it can be left in place.

       To remove the knob, twist the retainer ring (located
       at the bottom of the boot) clockwise. Then pull up on
       the knob. Be careful not to hit the rearview mirror
       when the knob comes off.
Step   Instructions                                             Photo
  4.   Steps 4 through 9 are for owners with a BOSE
       stereo system. If you do not have a Bose system
       skip to step 10.

       The subwoofer box in the passenger foot well needs
       to be removed. Use your fingers to pull out the
       plastic trim piece located in the center of the outlet

 5.    Use a T-20 Torx to remove the screw which holds the
       remaining sound outlet trim.

 6.    Once the screw has been removed, pull out the plastic
       trim piece. Disconnect the power outlet cord from
       the wiring harness.

 7.    Use the T-25 Torx to remove the screw holding the
       BOSE subwoofer to the car.
Step   Instructions                                             Photo
  8.   Once the screw has been removed, slide the speaker
       forward so that the clips holding the speaker to the
       center console will disengage.

 9.    When removing the speaker, also be sure to
       disconnect the wiring. This picture shows the wiring
       and the two clip assemblies that hold the speaker in

 10.   For cars without the Bose speaker system, in the
       driver foot well, use the T-25Torx to remove the
       screw that holds the small trim panel in. The screw is
       ‘hidden’ in the pile. Then slide the panel forward to
       disengage the rear clips

 11.   In the passenger’s side foot well, use the T-25Torx to
       remove the screw that holds the small trim panel in.
       The screw is also ‘hidden’ in the pile. Then slide the
       panel forward to disengage the rear clips.
Step   Instructions                                              Photo
 12.   Remove the two T-20 Torx screws that hold the side
       panel on the center stack in place. Do the same for
       the passenger side.

 13.   After the two Torx screws have been removed, gently
       pull on the side panel forward to disengage it. It will
       not come out completely – staying attached at the
       top. Repeat step 12 and 13 for the passenger side.

 14.   Once this side panels have been slid forward, there is
       easy access for prying up the forward-most clips
       holding in the center console extension trim. Use the
       interior install tool undo the clips. Note the location
       of the six clips on the diagram. Pry up. Do not
       pry left to right as you can break the
Step   Instructions                                                 Photo
 15.   Disengage the clips at the front of the extension piece
       using the interior install tool.

 16.   Lift up and remove the center console extension. Be
       sure to have taped off the shift knob. It is easier if the
       front sections of the piece are spread slightly to clear
       the storage bin. (The storage bin can not be removed
       until the extension piece is removed.)

 17.   With the extension piece out, remove the four Torx
       screws and pull out the shift boot trim surround. It is
       a tight fit to get the surround off while the shift boot
       is in place, however there is enough clearance.

 18.   Next, remove the front storage bin by unscrewing the
       two Torx screws (left and right side) that hold the bin
       in the center stack.
Step   Instructions                                           Photo

 19.   Use an install tool to press center of bin down
       slightly while removing the bin to prevent the tab
       (indicated by arrow) from catching on the trim above

 20.   The storage bin was removed from the car in order to
       give access to the center Torx screw (indicated by
       arrow). Remove this screw.
Step   Instructions                                              Photo
 21.   Unscrew the front-most Torx screw that holds the
       center console into the body of the car. Do the same
       for the driver’s side.

 22.   Open the center console compartment and remove
       the plastic mat. That exposes the four Torx screws
       that need to be removed. An interior install tool is
       handy here to lift the rear edge.

 23.   Use a T-20 Torx to remove the four screws. FYI,
       there is one hole that will seem to be missing a screw.
       Porsche intentionally left it empty.
Step   Instructions                                            Photo
 24.   Using a pry tool, lift up from the rear of the trim
       piece (the “banana”) directly under the handbrake.
       Once this piece is removed, unscrew the Torx screw
       that is exposed.

       This is the last screw holding the console in.

 25.   Going back to the passenger foot well, disconnect the
       console wiring. This plug is located right above the
       front end of the console.

 26.   Lift up on the center console starting from the rear.
       Put painters tape on the top of the handbrake and
       handbrake button (not shown in this photo) to prevent
       damage to the leather.
Step   Instructions                                            Photo
 27.   Place the console on your workbench. Remove the
       leather cover from the lid by unscrewing the 8 Torx
       screws as pictured.

 28.   Use a flat screwdriver to push out the catch belt
       retaining pin. Push into the hole towards the back of
       the console.

 29.   Once the catch belt retaining pin has been pushed
       out, pull the pin from the strap.

 30.    With a T-20 Torx screwdriver, unscrew the spring
       retaining screw from the hinge.
Step   Instructions                                               Photo
 31.   Remove the pin from the lid’s hinge. You should be
       able to push this out with simple hand pressure.

 32.   Once the pin is out, remove the lid assembly. The
       hinge spring can now be pulled up and out of its

 33.   Turn the console over. Disengage all of the plugs and
       the clips to remove the wiring from the OEM

       The two middle wire retaining clips are a bit difficult.
       Rotate them counter clockwise rather than trying to
       pull straight up.
Step   Instructions                                              Photo
 34.   Congratulations! Time to take a break. You are now
       halfway there. From this point, we will be building
       up the carbon fiber console and reinstalling it in the

 35.   Transfer the spring over to the carbon fiber console.
       Re-install the lid assembly by reversing the steps 27
       through 32.

 36.   Insert the Cabriolet top switch plug if you do not
       have a cabriolet.
 37.   Insert the plugs and use the flat end of an interior
       install tool to secure the wiring clips onto the carbon
       fiber console. Also ensure that the black electrical
       box is inserted into its compartment on the carbon
       fiber console.
Step   Instructions                                        Photo

 38.   Place the carbon fiber console into the car.

 39.   Plug the console wiring plug back into the wiring
       harness. Reconnect the battery and test the two
       power plugs and the ashtray light.
Step   Instructions                                               Photo
 40.   After the electrical testing is complete, replace all of
       the console retaining screws that were removed in
       steps 20-24

 41.   Reinstall the shift boot trim surround.
 42.   Reinstall the lower console bin.
 43.   Reinstall the front console extension.
 44.   Reattach the remaining console and carpet trim.
 45.   The result is a gorgeous carbon fiber center console that really adds a nice touch to the interior

 The current owner (C raig Lieberman) purchased this 1994 Toyota Supra with 54,000 miles on
 the clock in June of 1998. Previously owned by a business -man, the car was totally
 unmodified when sold to the current owner. However, that was soon to change.
 Immediately upon acquisition, the car underwent a hos t of modifications in the interest of
 using the car for advertising and promotion. C ompanies such as GReddy, Eibach, Stillen,
 C larion and NOS were all participants in this project. The first round of modifications included
 new candy yellow paint, 18” wheels/tires, a mild sound system upgrade and some body kit
 components, plus engine detailing. T he car then toured the show circuit, doing quite well. At
 least 6 major magazine features were done on the car. Over that winter, the car underwent
 its’ next round of modifications. The Supra was treated to a custom spec T -66 turbo done by
 Vinny Ten, owner of the world’s fastest Supra. Nitrous Oxide Systems installed a custom NOS
 system, GReddy installed some of their trick components and Stillen instal led their Formula 1
 AP Racing brakes. C ustom interior touches were added as well as a new audio/video system
 comprised of three TV monitors, a VC R, a DVD, Playstation and custom neon glasswork,
 courtesy of Audio Options. The engine was completely detailed, chromed and polished. All of
 the performance modifications received inspection and final tuning by a Toyota -engineer
 specializing in Supra Turbo engines and performance applications. The car then competed in
 the First Annual “Ultimate Street C ar C hallenge,” a grueling drag race, auto cross and car
 show, all in one weekend. The car took 1st Place Overall. The car also began to tour the show
 circuit for the balance of 1999. Its’ crowning achievement was the receipt of the prestigious
 “Meguiar’s Hottest C ar of the Year” award in 1999. The car also won Best of Show in
 numerous events around the country, scored several first place finishes and has even
 received features on KABC and KTLA local news broadcasts. But the best was yet to come.
 In the Spring of 2000, the car was spotted by recruiters for Universal Pictures and was
 selected to be the primary car for the upcoming blockbuster, “The Fast and The Furious.”
 Universal rented the car and began to alter its’ appearance to for an even more aggressive
 look. Lamborghini orange paint was applied (the only car in the movie to receive an actual
 high-quality paint job), as was a new Bomex body kit (the first of its’ kind, imported from
 Japan). New 19” wheels were added, as well as a new rear wing, a new TRD hood and some
 one-off Troy Lee graphics. The studio then set out to build 5 cosmetic replicas, shown in
 various stages of completion, all designed to replicate this original. All replicas were
 destroyed during the filming of the movie. This Supra is the primary car in the movie….the
 movie features the car extensively. This particular car was driven by one of the stars, Paul
 Walker and was used for all the glamour and close -up shots. Stunt replicas were used for all
 the abusive driving. Upon completion of the mot ion picture, the car was returned to the
 owner with no damage, having been carefully protected by the film’s Transportation
 Managers. Numerous 8” x 10” pho tos were provided to the owner showing the car in action
 during the movie, as was a host of other souvenirs. The owner also served as Technical
 Advisor on the picture and provided dialog assistance for the script.
 The car then appeared at the Hollywood Premier in June of 2001 where a stage was built for
 the car at the Press Junkets which ran about the same time. The car has appeared in over
 200 US newspapers and more than 500 foreign newspapers and dozens of domestic and
 international publica tions. International release was scheduled for September of 2001. In the
 interim, the car is touring the show circuit on behalf of Universal Pictures to promote the
 movie. As of this writing, more than 20 magazines on three continents have shot the car with
 6 covers to its’ credit. The car has been carefully prepared, serviced and maintained
 throughout the last two years and while making its’ show appearances. It is sure to be a
collector’s item, with its’ value placed at over $150,000. The car currently is actually driven
and it has almost 60,000 miles on it and s till retains the A/C , tilt, cruise and full amenitie s. It
has always been garaged, is hand polished weekly and is totally reliable. It is never raced or
abused. C areful attention was paid to every detail so as to ensure the utmost reliability.
