Summary
Alan Bourke is a Software Development Manager with three decades of hands-on experience delivering and customising ERP and line-of-business solutions using .NET, C# and SQL Server. He has a rare combination of deep application development (including supporting standalone C# tools) and practical systems-integration expertise, having led requirement analysis, customisations and performance troubleshooting across customer deployments. Alan has progressed from technician and developer roles into leadership, currently steering software delivery at CK Systems after a long tenure building ERP and SaaS features at Pegasus Ireland. He routinely liaises with external IT vendors to resolve complex production issues and optimises performance where standard fixes fall short.
