Hi cooleagues,
Kinldy take a look at this profile below and see if
you can use Steve in your organisation. He looks to me
like a pretty good brain gain who is returning to
Kenya in September, 2005
Charles Nduati
STEVE'S PROFILE BELOW
Among my key accomplishments:
- Ability to manage and coordinate teams for multiple
projects and initiatives.
- Created a IT team and implemented best practices.
- Maintained and documented all defects, feature
requests, and general feedback from customers,
internal sales, customer service, and marketing staff.
- Taught IT team members test automation integrity,
reusability and maintainability.
- Created testing schedules, ensured guidelines and
policies were adhered to and met project budget
levels.
- Created cost-effective test processes that
drastically reduced testing effort while generating a
high return on investment.
- Lead tester for large scale, high-risk complex
applications through system development life cycles.
- Managed and assigned team members in all phases of
product testing including data gathering and business
analysis efforts.
- Conducted training sessions for application and test
tools to users, managers and engineers.
- Researched industry test tools and made purchase
recommendations to management.
- Conducted comprehensive test analysis to ensure peak
application performance, server performance and load
balancing on various systems primarily web-based
applications.
- Developed quality assurance and implementation plans
for new systems as well as upgrades.
- Comprehensive knowledge of information management
principles and their applicability to business
processes, products and services.
At Monster I have successfully completed multiple
projects through the QA phase conducting manual and
Automated testing for a .Net application. Currently
one of the applications is being used as Monsters
primer application for new business. In first month
revenues in excess of $1 million was generated and
projected at $150M/yr. Usability was reported at an
all time high for the organization. As one of the QA
leads of the project I ensured that the QA process as
an integral part of the process. The defects written
both functional and usability were welcomed and
addressed by the Development and Business teams and
incorporated to enhance the product. Another
application was released end of January and is
targeted for 100,000 pre-selected customers. The
targeted revenue for this application is $500,000 to
$1 Million per month. I was the QA lead in this
project.
While at Evare I conducted research and development of
test harnesses that greatly reduced testing efforts
for the QA team. These sophisticated harnesses were
developed with particular attention to program
functionality and appropriate cases. In addition to
being utilized in future testing, these harnesses have
since been integrated into EvareĀs testing cycle and
are standard practice before the release of new
products to the market.
Additionally, I have extensive experience
creating, maintaining and performing test scripts,
regression tests and utilizing automated tools to
improve business efficiency. I was appointed to the
Rational Automated Software Quality Customer Advisory
Board, where I participate in discussions on the
future of automation tools and provided feedback on
various Rational products. Consequently, I have
significant experience implementing and using
automated testing tools.
At New River, I created the organizationĀs first
QA test team and managed offshore resources while
establishing testing procedures. In addition, I worked
with senior management to coordinate testing strategy,
usage of automation tools, schedules and manage
resources. I therefore have the ability to effectively
interact with all levels of management and to excel in
an aggressive-schedule environment.
Finally, I offer excellent communication and
organization skills. Given the opportunity I am
confident that I have the requisite experience and
skill-set to make a valuable contribution to the IT
team at your University. I have attached a copy of my
resume and look forward to talking with you about the
position.
Sincerely yours,
Stephen Mwangi

> Deadline for submissions: 15 September 2005

>
>
> This yearās theme: Where is the money for bridging the digital divide?
>
>
>
> New information and communication technologies (ICT) are
> transforming most aspects of modern life ā including business,
> customer and financial services, politics, entertainment and social
> interaction. Terms like āthe knowledge economyā and āthe
> information societyā have become commonplace. But, as with other
> resources, access to ICT is unevenly distributed between rich and
> poor, north and south, giving rise to the concept of a ādigital
> divideā.
>
>
> Some development analysts see the digital divide as a cause of
> poverty and underdevelopment: they believe that as the global
> economy becomes more and more dependent on ICT, those countries and
> people who are not able to use the technologies will be
> increasingly excluded.
>
>
> Other experts think the digital divide is just a symptom of
> poverty, similar to lack of education or poor housing, and that as
> people and countries get richer their access to ICT will naturally
> increase. As the Economist argued (12 March 2005), āFewer people in
> poor countries than in rich own computers... [and have] access to
> the internet simply because they are too poorā¦or have more pressing
> concerns, such as food, health care and securityā. Others point out
> that the digital divide is now part of an overall development
> divide and therefore opportunities for increasing communication
> channels should be seen as a core activity of development.
>
>
> Another significant debate is over what ā if anything ā should be
> done by development agencies and governments to close the divide.
> During the preparations for the first part of the World Summit on
> the Information Society (Geneva, 2003) a proposal to set up a
> special international fund to support ICT development projects, the
> Digital Solidarity Fund, was hotly disputed. No agreement was
> reached, and the issue is likely to cause controversy again in the
> second stage of the Summit.
>
>
> Opponents of the proposed Digital Solidarity Fund (who include many
> northern governments) believe that sufficient funds are already
> available, and that private sector investment is often more
> successful than development project funding in providing ICT that
> meets peopleās real needs. In any case, they believe that lack of
> money to spend on ICT is not the main issue for developing countries.
>
>
> Supporters of the Fund argue that private investment is not
> bridging the gap. They point out that the telecommunications
> revolution in Africa has mostly favoured urban areas and left
> villagers behind. Bridging the digital divide will be expensive,
> and poor countries need additional funds.
>
>
> Despite the lack of international agreement, a number of African
> countries joined together after the Geneva Summit to set up the
> Fund and look for innovative ways of raising money for it. One
> suggestion is to levy a 1 per cent tax on global sales of ICT
> software and hardware.
>
>
> The key question is: Are poor nations genuinely in need of setting
> up a new Fund to bridge their bridge the digital divide affecting
> their citizens?
>
>
> This question should be widely debated by governments, private and
> public communication service providers, development organisations
> and the general public, ahead of the November WSIS meeting.
>
>
> Some questions journalists might consider investigating include the
> following, and there are many more:
>
>
> Ā· What are the innovative ways through which poor people manage
> to join in the information revolution? (e.g. sharing a mobile phone)
>
> Ā· How have externally-driven (government, donor agencies) ICT
> projects increased opportunities for poor people to access
> information? (e.g. farmers accessing crop prices from a public kiosk)
>
> Ā· Have externally-driven projects lasted after the initial
> funding support came to an end, or have they proved unsustainable
> and died?
>
> Ā· What development outcomes has your country so far achieved by
> bringing new ICTs to the people? (e.g. distribution of land titles
> to the poor without corrupt intermediaries)
>
> Ā· In your country are there examples of private investment
> providing ICT access that poor people really find useful? Did the
> government do anything to help these private sector initiatives get
> established?
>
> Ā· Does your country need more money to bridge the divide? Are
> existing resources properly managed? What do people, policy
> experts, and politicians in your area think as to who should pay
> for bridging the digital divide?
>

Thanks Florence,
If it's true, then we have to work together to model ICTs to address
the 'information' gap in Kenya. Here's one response by De Andre'
Hudson (March 4, 2002) I found online
http://www.africanbynature.com/eyes/openeyes_read.html
I prefer not to see myself in the confined label....as if I was
peeping through a race 'keyhole'.. ;-). I however must admit that
Africans are a very 'communal' lot so I wonder whether the assertion
on 'selfishness' is true except to the extent that we are divided on
'tribal' lines (communal selfishness). In some cases, such as the
Constitutional Review process, we have been divided by greed for
power instead of being brought together or even divided by higher
ideals. However, that is one very common human trait that transcends
race.
On the issue of awarding 'speakers' rather than 'doers'... ;-) true
to a great extent. Our politicians are an outstanding example.
Regards,
Wainaina
