Andre van der Schyff has been a senior developer at jCentric for the past three years, consulting to TradeStream as a senior developer and team lead, developing supply chain management solutions. He has come to specialise in creating rich client and Web-based enterprise systems using open frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate, employing agile development methodologies such as XP. Prior to that, Van der Schyff worked on Java programming projects for various corporations after teaching a Java course at Hatfield Business College in 2001 on behalf of employer Telkom.
