Obviously I now write ‘proper’ software in a version controlled and tested environment (I’m part of the uzERP team after all) and am comfortable with SQL, Python, PHP, Git and so on - but with my ‘evil bearded accountant’ hat on I believe I still am a Citizen Developer? And if I am…. I wrote my first ‘web-app’, in Lotus Notes would you believe, in 1996. I’ve done this as an employee, a business owner and a consultant.īack in the 80’s I used spreadsheets (Lotus-123 and VP-Planner plus) and DBase III - this morphed into Excel, Visual Basic and Clipper in the early 90’s and became open source focused in the late 90’s and early part of the last decade. I’ve had to wrangle messy data from multiple sources into a ‘consumable’ format and produced reports to try to get some sense of where the business has been, and is going. For as long as I can remember I’ve developed ‘models’ (usually called forecasts or budgets) and tried to automate repetitive tasks to make my ‘workflow’ more efficient.
I’ve been a qualified accountant for most of my working life.
