Work Experience
My present employer is Logica UK, for whom I work as a consultant in their
Space sector.
My last employment was with 3Com Corporation in Edinburgh, during
which I was involved in a large Java software development project.
During the Summer of 1997 I was employed by Short Term Rental Systems LTD,
during
which I was made responsible for building one of the first "WebFarms" in
the UK. This project involved making use of emerging technologies
to create a secure yet flexible environment where companies could host
their web sites. From this experience I greatly broadened my knowledge
of Linux, and Windows NT operating systems, and also became familiar with
the setting up and operation of Web Servers, DNS Servers, and Mail Servers.
The STRS Webfarm homepage is located at http://www.webfarm.net.uk/.
I have also travelled to London on several occasions to help with problems
that have arisen throughout the year.
Summer 1996 : Hands On LTD
Over the summer of 1996 I was employed by Hands On LTD, a company setting
up Internet Cafes over the UK. One of my main tasks was to write a software
package that would monitor and control usage of the computers in the cafe.
I wrote this using Visual Basic for the Windows 95 platform, and it has
been used in all of their cafes nation wide. From this experience
I learned much about working in an office environment, in addition to the
many technical skills I developed.
Summer 1994 : Costello Print LTD
Over the summer of 1994 I worked for a printing company using desktop publishing
software to design material to be printed. This was the first formal
working environment I was exposed to and was very interesting and educational.
Retail Experience
Over the past 5 years I have also worked in my fathers sports shop, gaining
much experience of how to deal with people in a commercial setting.
