Derick Hewetson’s Summary

I am an experienced IT professional with a broad knowledge and understanding of methods, technologies and tools in many areas. Having started my career in the engineering field, I tend to apply a multi-disciplinary, systems approach to problem solving. I see Information Technology as a valuable tool in realising business objectives, and try to never let it take precedence over those objectives.

My passion for, natural curiosity and creativity with technologies and tools enables me to resolve seemingly dead-locked situations. My analytical skills and broad experience lets me quickly grasp ideas, strategies, situations or issues and solve them as efficiently as possible. While specialists have their place, I believe it is always good to start off with a sound overview of a problem. My University education has given me a solid grounding in enterprise architectures, information analysis, system analysis and project management.

With over 24 years' experience in computing, and a natural aptitude for conceptual thinking, visualisation, analysis and optimisation, I am able to offer an extensive understanding of a broad range of information technology subjects, especially in a troubleshooting capacity.

Derick Hewetson’s Specialties:

I specialise in Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows and Linux or Solaris support and integration, the application of Internet technology, networking, MySQL and Filemaker database development and web design.

I have experience in technical and middle-management positions, am able to apply project management methodologies and am qualified in Operations Research, including statistical and quantitative analysis.

I am multilingual - speak, read and write English, Afrikaans, German and French.
