Johannes (Hansie) Odendaal

Senior Rust Developer at Tari

City of Johannesburg, Gauteng

Strong system engineering (SE) background where large systems were procured. I know how to define and function in a strict SE environment. Can define creating system needed to implement complex projects, specific engineering approach to follow, breakdown and definition of tasks, project time line and budgeting.

Specialized in nuclear engineering related S/W development from technical & business requirements analysis, S/W architecture definition, solution methods selection to implementation & testing. Understanding the nuclear engineering domain is crucial.

Helped to develop S/W engineering and V&V procedures, processes and standards in relation to NNR, IEEE, NRC and ASME. Functioned as S/W engineering technical lead. Used C, C++, VB and VBA languages (able to learn new quickly), worked in DOS, UNIX & Windows environments. Object orientated design, CORBA middleware, GUIs & database connectivity. Revision control: Microsoft Visual Source Safe, CS-RCS Pro, CVS, and Subversion.

Experience in simulator development on military projects and nuclear domain. On military projects I specialised in all facets of dynamic aircraft modelling & simulation for simulator applications, from flight-test definition, data reduction and analysis to model identification, implementation, test & qualification.

Passionate about efficiently & effectively producing, managing & delivering technical documentation according to highest standards. Thus I developed and copyrighted an Automated Template System for MS Word that enables large technical teams to efficiently produce documents to a consistent standard.

Adaptable, have thorough scientific approach (focus on problem but also to see total picture), a good leader and co-ordinator with lots of enthusiasm and initiative and have an eye for detail. I can also interact with clients and business partners.
