Farewell To Our Greek Colleagues

A bittersweet end to the current project, it was very challenging to meet the deadline, but all the preparation; planning, and rehearsals paid off. The Cutover Weekend was extremely smooth, and kudos goes to our Greek colleagues who work diligently right up to this point, and then transitioned to the new owners of HSBC’s Greek Business, Pancreta Bank. Some demise activities required and will be working closely with the tail team to ensure all regulatory requirements have been satisfied. Picture of the new sign in place at the Athens head office ready for Monday morning.

Last day on the BREXIT programme

It’s been an eventful year and great to have been part of such a capable team. The Branches have now all been migrated and are operating under HSBC France, regardless of what happens with our political indecision in the UK, HSBC’s European operations head office is now in Paris and isolated from any further wranglings.

There were ups and downs, as with all large programmes, but everyone pulled together and the implementations went exceptionally well. I’ll miss my colleagues and extended team members at the branches.

Last breakfast in sunny Sheffield for a little while until I come back in June for another assignment.

IAF Commisioning

Many moons ago in my days as an ATE Programming Engineer at Siemens Plessey, I wrote numerous programmes to test the various digital signal processing boards that decipher the information received from the radars. One of these projects was to deliver AR327 military defence systems to the Indonesian Air Force. We also supplied supplied CTS90 ATE systems with a full suite of programmes, allowing the IAF to support and maintain their systems.

After 25 years, I find myself returning to my roots as an ATE programmer. Helping TeroTest commission new ATE hardware onsite at the air force base in Solo, Indonesia.

HSBC Ring Fence Bank

HSBC’s new ring-fenced bank is now live, what a remarkable achievement and a huge piece of work that was successfully delivered on time by the programme.

Working as Programme Test manager for the Commercial Bank my test team focused on three sub workstreams Digital, Trade and Other. This encompassed customer-facing web applications, business internet banking and mobile apps. Global trade solutions and data management and warehouse platforms. These applications were used to generate the stimulus required to facilitate the product based testing for the logical separation of the new bank.

I’d like to thank all my colleagues for a job very well done, it was a challenge and a half, but we pulled through together and we should be very proud of our achievements.
