Matt, analyst-programmer on Multinational Team in GIS

Matt joined X-Group as a graduate trainee. He had a computer element to his degree (00892). He was one of the main programmers on phase I of the project (00374, 00252) and he rewrote reinsurance (00265). Gordan thought that he made an amazing contribution to phase I particularly given his limited experience (00892). He would get on with things under his own initiative and understood the business perspective (00378).

By phase II Matt and Nigel were leading the internal design work (00896) with Matt providing at least some of the vision for a new object-based design for the system (00565, 00564) and doing the database design (00004). Gordan promoted him two grades because he was so impressed by his technical ability and did not want to lose him (00004).

In phase III Matt was working on the migration to Unix and was the only one in the team who was familiar with Unix (00137). He left around the end of August 1994 to work as a database designer for Morgan Stanley (01060) and Alan took over his database role.
