REFERENCE
FOR MR CHRIS DUNCAN
Mr Chris Duncan
commenced a close working relationship with the Security Industry Registry (SIR)
in early 2005. Chris was a member of the Business & Technology Services
(BTS) team tasked with enhancing the NSW Police Force's Integrated Licensing
System (ILS) to support a new licensing scheme to be introduced by the SIR in
mid-2006. At the time, I was the SIR's Deputy Registrar and responsible for
managing the project from the SIR's (client) perspective.
I believe
Chris' role on the project was initially envisaged to be as a Programmer,
implementing the identified business requirements. Eventually, however, Chris
was required to take on the roles of Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, Head
Programmer and Test Co-ordinator. This was due to a
number of reasons, but was primarily a reflection of the considerable
confidence in his capabilities shared by the BTS and SIR management teams. I do
not believe that the project could have been successfully completed had Chris
not been as involved.
The
legislation governing the new licensing scheme was quite complex, with numerous
inconsistencies with existing SIR business practices and ILS functionality. The
SIR took the opportunity to introduce process reforms and to decommission
smaller business systems by incorporating the functionality of those systems
within ILS. Chris provided enormous support to the SIR in conceptualising,
designing, documenting and implementing the necessary changes. Most of the SIR
staff with whom Chris interacted on the project had little or no experience in
projects such as this, yet Chris was able to assist them to positively
contribute by explaining concepts in simple, layman's terms and asking the
right questions.
Once the new
licensing scheme was introduced, Chris remained in his lead project roles for
the next phase - the implementation of planned amendments to the security
industry licensing legislation. As his knowledge of the SIR's legislation,
business practices and staff grew, Chris became increasingly valuable to me as
a sounding board for proposed changes.
Since Chris
left the NSW Police Force in June 2007, he has been very much missed by the
SIR. All staff involved in the project had developed friendships with Chris and
have the utmost respect for his capabilities and personal qualities. He remains
someone that I hold in high regard and I strongly recommend him to any prospective
employer.
I may be
contacted on 02 8835 8414 for further information.

Service of the NSW Police Service from April 1999 till this day. For the last
two years Chris was working in the Software Support Team maintaining and

permanent employees and contractors of various level of experience in analysis
and programming.
Chris worked on various systems that consist of operational police systems and
administration systems. Chris also developed many Natural utilities that other
staffs find very useful as a programmer's tool. He also provided sound
technical advise to team members in the use of
Natural Adabas. The tasks he performed include
analysis, design, programming and testing using Natural as the programming
language and Adabas as the database. The systems he
worked on are:
Chris demonstrated that he has the technical knowledge and skills of being an
experienced Natural/Adabas analyst programmer. He has
experience in using several of the Microsoft products. He proves that he has
the ability to analyse the problems and present
solutions. His contract finishes on 30 June 2001 and would be extended for

I have no hesitation in confirming that Christopher Duncan is an experienced
professional analyst/programmer in the IT industry.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Chris Duncan
was a member of a Year 2000 project team that I managed at Colonial State Bank
from August 1998 to March 1999. Chris was primarly
involved in analyzing the consequences on the bank's applications of the
upgrade of NATURAL to version 3.1 and in assisting programming staff with the
subsequent code changes
Following this assignment Chris also worked for me on another Year 2000 project
at Steelmark, Eagle and Globe.
On both projects Chris was an excellent team member and demonstrated a very
good knowledge of NATURAL. He can be relied on to satisfactorily complete
assigned tasks with little need for supervision.
It was a pleasure to work with Chris and I would be delighted to work with him
on other projects if the opportunity arose.
I can be contacted at mikeb@zeta.org.au if further information is required.

To Whom it may concern
Date:
Subject: Reference for Christopher Duncan
Chris joined us about 6 months ago as a Senior Consultant and has been working on the development of software applied to a complete range of Y2K projects. His expertise in Natural ensured timely completion of urgent projects and he was subsequently asked to handle other languages to meet various deadlines. Chris showed skill and initiation in projects where problems arose from time to time. He also played important roles in activities such as doing demo at exhibitions and making presentations to important clients. His performance was satisfactory in all cases.
He has been part of a small team in which supervision was not structured in the same way as in large organisations. He worked under pressure most of the time but results were nevertheless reliable. He gets along well with colleagues at all levels.
Chris is undoubtedly a capable worker and a desirable employee. We have not yet tested his performance as a team leader, but given the opportunity, that seems to be a logical way forward.
Yours sincerely

that he was with us, Chris has proved to be a hard working individual with a

application developers across the EDP area. His patience while acting as an
unofficial help-desk on Natural matters for the whole department has ensured
his popularity.
It

future endeavours that he chooses to undertake.

system. The system included over 4000 batch and online software items, coded in
NATURAL / DB2 with functionality ranging from policy underwriting, claims

accounting ledger and disbursement systems.
Chris'

support and extensive user support and interaction. Due to his advanced
technical skills and rapid assimilation of requirements, Chris often served in
a 'fire fighter' role, receiving multiple assignments across multiple
subsystems. As his development manager, I was immediately impressed with the
aptitude, effort and pride of ownership Chris displayed.
In
general, Chris:
o Displayed an advanced technical and
business aptitude

his self-motivation

timely results
